Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar has claimed that BNP has become “unnerved” by what he described as increasing public support for Jamaat’s election symbol, the scale.
He added that Islamic political parties aimed to contest the polls through mutual understanding and work toward building a “new Bangladesh” through electoral victory.
Speaking at a student rally at the Shahpur Andulia Football ground in Dumuria upazila of Khulna-5 on Friday morning, Parwar said voters would show a “red card” to corrupt politicians in the next election.
He cautioned that if any group attempts to take over polling stations or manipulate ballots, Jamaat supporters must “secure and hold the centers.” Parwar urged party activists to maintain a presence at polling stations from early morning on election day.
The rally, organised by Dumuria Upazila unit Jamaat-e-Islami, was chaired by Upazila Ameer Maulana Mokhtar Hossain. Special guests included Abu Sadik Kayem, vice president of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu), and Mazharul Islam, general secretary of Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (Jucsu).
Other speakers included Bablu Krishna Nandi, president of Dumuria Upazila Hindu Committee; Ahmad Ahsan Ullah Farhan of the Habibur Rahman Hall Union at Rajshahi University; Jahangirnagar University executive committee member Abu Talha; Malaysia expatriate Abu Hanif Akunji; Central Majlis-e-Shura member and Khulna District Ameer Maulana Imran Hossain; and Professor Mahfuzur Rahman, Jamaat’s candidate for Khulna-3.
Khulna District Secretary Munshi Mizanur Rahman, Khulna City Chhatra Shibir President Arafat Hossain Milon, district assistant secretary Munshi Moinul Islam, Professor Mia Golam Kuddus, and other party leaders also addressed the event.
Islamic nasheed singer Ahmad Ataullah Salman performed at the rally. Among the attendees were Sheikh Sirajul Islam, Mostafa Al Mujahid, Dr. Syed Hasan Mahmud Tito, Abdul Wadud Sardar, Abdul Qayyum Al-Faisal, Dr. Ikram Uddin Sumon, and several additional local leaders and activists.
