Bir Muktijoddha Engineer Md. Jasim Uddin Pradhan, commander of the Matlab South Upazila Muktijoddha Sangsad in Chandpur, has formally joined Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. The announcement came on Saturday night during a youth and elite gathering at Matlab Community Center, where he expressed support for the party’s ideals and programs and completed the associate membership form. Jasim Uddin has been serving as convener of the upazila’s freedom fighters’ council since August 19, 2025.

The event was attended by senior Jamaat leaders, including Dr. Abdul Mobin, assistant secretary of the party’s Comilla South district and nominated parliamentary candidate for Chandpur-2. Other speakers included district and upazila-level Jamaat officials who emphasized the need for participation from all professions to establish moral and humanitarian leadership in society. They expressed hope that Jasim Uddin’s joining would have a positive impact on local politics.

Jasim Uddin stated that his decision was driven by a desire to see the country governed according to the Quran and Sunnah and that he had not previously been affiliated with any political party.
