The Leader of the Opposition and Chairman of the Jatiya Party, GM Quader, commented that although many people are celebrating Eid in the midst of a depression, the people in countryside and towns are suffering due of the nation's poor economic standing. 
 
In order to share the happiness of Eid with everyone, he urged the government and affluent individuals to step up. He told the media these things at the Rangpur Collectorate Eidgah venue during the major Eid-ul-Fitr congregation. "Jatiya Party will elect the upazila with the party symbol," GM Quader said. 
 
He demanded to make the election participatory by ensuring voter attendance. The main Eid congregation was held at Collectorate Eidgah at 8:30 am.
 
 In this, Mayor of Rangpur City Corporation Mostafizar Rahman Mostafa, Divisional Commissioner Zakir Hossain along with senior officials of the administration, political leaders and about 25 thousand Muslims of various classes and professions offered prayers in the main Eid congregation.
