Jamaat-e-Islami presented a comprehensive set of policy plans at a policy summit held on Tuesday at the InterContinental Hotel in Dhaka. The party outlined its vision for governance if it wins the upcoming 13th parliamentary election. Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman delivered the keynote address, emphasizing a framework for a 'new and prosperous Bangladesh.' Diplomats, academics, business leaders, and professionals attended the event, where experts discussed the proposed policy papers.

The plans include zero tolerance against corruption, gradual reduction of tax to 19 percent and VAT to 10 percent, and the introduction of a smart social security card integrating NID, TIN, health, and social services. The party pledged not to raise utility charges for three years, reopen closed factories through public-private partnerships, and provide interest-free loans to small farmers. Education proposals include interest-free loans for graduates and students, establishment of the world’s largest women’s university, and merit-based recruitment. Health initiatives promise free care for children under five and seniors over sixty, and specialized hospitals in all 64 districts.

The roadmap also features youth and ICT development programs, including a new ministry for skilled manpower, 10 million youth trained in five years, and a ‘Vision 2040’ plan to create 2 million ICT jobs by 2030.
