Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has issued a show-cause notice to its central executive member and Chattogram-15 (Satkania–Lohagara) candidate, Shahjahan Chowdhury, for making controversial remarks about the administration and law enforcement ahead of the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. The notice, published on Jamaat’s verified Facebook page on November 25, gives him seven days to explain his comments. During a party conference in Chattogram on November 22, Shahjahan allegedly urged supporters to bring local administrative officials under their influence and direct police actions in their favor. His statements, which also called on teachers to campaign for the party’s election symbol, sparked widespread criticism across the country. In response to the backlash, Jamaat’s Assistant Secretary General and Chattogram Zone Chief Muhammad Shahjahan clarified that the party does not endorse Shahjahan Chowdhury’s remarks.
