Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said the nation stands at a critical juncture and described February 12 as a day of change. He made the remarks on Sunday afternoon during an election rally in Sherpur. Rahman warned that any attack on mothers would trigger an explosion in the country and pledged to ensure lawful employment for youth instead of distributing unemployment allowances.

He also addressed a recent incident involving his social media account, which he said had been briefly taken over by miscreants who posted offensive comments about women. Rahman stated that control had been regained and apologized to any women who felt hurt by the incident. Additionally, he condemned the killing of Jamaat leader Professor Maulana Rezaul Karim in Shrimati upazila and the attack on an election meeting, criticizing the authorities for failing to arrest the main suspects after three days.

Rahman said he had directly urged the home adviser to show visible progress in the investigation and warned against testing their patience.
