Mayor Sadiq Claims His Innocence

Barishal City Corporation Mayor Sadiq Abdullah has demanded a judicial inquiry into the attack on the UNO home. At the same time he claims to be innocent.

He made the demand at a press conference at his residence on Kalibari Road in Barishal on Saturday (August 21). The mayor said, "If I am guilty, I will resign from the party if necessary, but I will not allow any harm to the party."

In response to a question from reporters, the mayor said he would be able to take any action against me if I was found guilty. If law enforcement want to arrest me in this case, don’t need to search my house or look for me. If I informed, I will go to the police station myself. I am a familiar face all over the country, I will not run away.
