Dhaka, Jan. 25 -- BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan on Sunday criticised a Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami candidate for claiming that the BNP would not be allowed to win any seat in Dhaka, urging Jamaat leaders to refrain from making arrogant statements that, he said, put their faith to the test.

"Jamaat leaders are saying they will not give us a single seat in Dhaka. I think they are saying such things to encourage their workers. But they should not say anything that even puts their faith (in Allah) to the test," he said.

Speaking at a discussion organised by Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal at the Jatiya Press Club, Nazrul, a BNP Standing Committee member, also warned Jamaat leaders that Allah does not like pride or arrogance.
