Abdullah Al Harun Sohel, in charge of media coordination for the businessman’s campaign, told bdnews24.com: “Tabith Awal was supposed to pray in Rahim Metal Jame Masjid after campaigning in Mohakhali’s health directorate and Nabisco areas.
“He went there to pray there but police said the state minister for home affairs would be coming to pray there. So he should go to another mosque.”
Tabith later prayed at a mosque in Nakhalpara, Sohel claimed and said, “I knew that a mosque is a place where everyone can come together. But a rift has been created there, too.”
However, officer in charge of Tejgaon police, Md Salauddin, trashed the allegation, saying the state minister had not been to that mosque at all and had prayed in the Begunbari Siddique Masjid Dhal.
He also said that Tabith Awal had not gone to the Rahim Metal mosque but prayed at a Nakhalpara mosque.
