Addressing a national rally, Jamaat-e-Islami's Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher stated that many political actors oppose the Proportional Representation (PR) system because it prevents vote-buying and polling center takeovers. “After August 5, the public wants reform. Electoral reform is essential for fair elections,” he declared. He criticized those opposing reforms as having “ulterior motives,” and questioned their assumptions about winning or rigging future elections. Dr. Taher emphasized that only pro-Bangladesh, pro-good governance forces would succeed in the next election, reaffirming Jamaat’s opposition to extremism and terrorism.
