ATM Azharul Islam, Nayeb-e-Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, said the party would serve as public servants rather than rulers if elected. He made the statement on Tuesday afternoon at a youth rally in support of the party’s 'Dharipalla' (scales) symbol in Badarganj Sadar, Rangpur. The rally began at Sahapur field, paraded through key roads, and ended at the Upazila Parishad road, with a large number of youth activists carrying party flags, banners, and festoons.

In his address, Azharul Islam said the absence of honest and competent leadership had prevented the creation of a corruption-free state. He argued that corrupt leadership could never build a corruption-free Bangladesh and urged voters to elect honest, qualified, and patriotic leaders. He emphasized that Jamaat-e-Islami had no place for corruption, terrorism, or extortion and that past governments had exploited the people.

Azharul Islam also referred to the July 2024 mass uprising, saying it made current political expression possible. He called on supporters to uphold the spirit of that movement and vote for the 'Dharipalla' symbol to establish a just, corruption-free society based on Islamic values.
