ATM Azharul Islam, central leader of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Member of Parliament for Rangpur-2 (Taraganj-Badarganj), called on officials to be more sincere toward farmers. He made the appeal on April 11, 2026, while inaugurating a seed and fertilizer distribution program under the government’s agricultural incentive scheme at the Taraganj Upazila Parishad hall.

The event, chaired by Upazila Nirbahi Officer Monabbir Hossain, was attended by Upazila Agriculture Officer Dhiba Rani and other officials. The program distributed improved-quality paddy seeds and fertilizers to farmers for the 2025–26 fiscal year’s Kharif-1 season to boost jute and Aus paddy cultivation. ATM Azharul Islam emphasized the need for continuous government incentives to ensure farmers’ financial security and national agricultural growth.

He also highlighted the importance of modern technology, improved irrigation, and farmer training to enhance productivity. The event concluded with the distribution of wheelchairs to six persons with disabilities and checks worth over 10 million taka to 15 orphanages under the Capitation Grant program.
