Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdullah Muhammad Taher warned that holding elections without reforms would drag Bangladesh back into fascism. “Reforms must be completed before the next election. Those opposing reforms have hidden agendas,” he said, adding that elections without changes would revive “Awami Jahiliyat.” Taher advocated for a proportional representation (PR) system, claiming it would end violence, curb vote-rigging, and ensure fair elections. “There is no alternative to PR—this is the only solution,” he asserted.
