Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer and Cumilla-11 (Chauddagram) candidate Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher on Wednesday said the 13th national parliamentary election would shape Bangladesh’s future course.
“This election will determine whether Bangladesh moves forward with independence and self-respect or returns to a dark phase of the past 54 years,” he said while addressing a views-exchange meeting at a party office in Chauddagram upazila in the afternoon.
He said the polls would also decide whether the country slips back into what he described as fascist politics or advances towards a democratic, civil and just society that safeguards citizens’ rights.
Taher said the election would open a new phase of national development and create scope for the genuine reflection of people’s opinions.
The meeting was chaired by Chauddagram Upazila Jamaat Ameer Mahfuzur Rahman.
Jamaat-e-Islami Central Majlish Shura member and Cumilla South District Ameer Advocate Mohammad Shahjahan, former district Ameer Mohammad Abdus Sattar, former upazila Ameer VP Sahab Uddin, and municipal Ameer Maulana Ibrahim also spoke at the programme.
