In a significant development, 24 followers of the Sanatan (Hindu) faith, along with one Muslim, officially joined Jamaat-e-Islami in Chapainawabganj on Sunday. They completed primary membership forms and were inducted into the party’s non-Muslim wing. New member Suman Kumar Saha said, “We have long received support from Jamaat during times of crisis, and they have never obstructed our religious practices. We believe Jamaat is a value-driven party.” Jamaat leader Latifur Rahman confirmed that the group joined under Saha’s leadership. He emphasized that the party’s constitution allows people of all faiths to join if they agree with Jamaat’s political and economic vision. “Quran came for all humanity, not just Muslims,” he said, adding that Islam instructs respect for other religions.
