BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman paid a courtesy visit to Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman at his residence in Bashundhara on Sunday, February 15, following the BNP’s sweeping victory in the 13th National Parliamentary Election. The meeting, described as a significant post-election gesture, was attended by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Jamaat’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, and Assistant Secretary General Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair. Dr. Shafiqur Rahman greeted Tarique Rahman with flowers during the meeting.

After the discussion, Dr. Taher told reporters that the meeting symbolized a qualitative change in national politics. He said both parties had jointly struggled against fascism and would now work together to build a new Bangladesh. Taher emphasized that Jamaat would cooperate with the government on issues of public welfare but would not join any national government, instead maintaining its role as a strong opposition.

The Jamaat chief also expressed hope that the government would pay attention to law and order issues raised during the meeting.
