Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman declared that his party fears no intimidation and will not tolerate external interference in national affairs. He made the remarks on Saturday morning at a ten-party electoral rally held at Polabari Government Pilot High School field in Gaibandha. During the event, he emphasized the party’s commitment to implementing the Teesta mega project if given the opportunity, saying that restoring the rivers of northern Bangladesh would revive the lives of local residents.

Rahman pledged to fight corruption and extortion, promising employment instead of allowances and improved healthcare services. He said Jamaat wants to turn citizens into productive assets and ensure the safety of mothers. Despite facing oppression, he stated that the party remains steadfast in its dedication to the country. At the end of his speech, Rahman handed over election symbols to candidates in all five parliamentary constituencies of Gaibandha, all of whom are Jamaat nominees under the ten-party alliance.

He described the five candidates as a trust left with the people, urging voters to return that trust as a gift to the party.
