A video of Banshkhali Upazila Jubo Dal convener Abu Ahmad describing Jamaat-e-Islami as 'more dangerous than the Awami League' has gone viral on social media. The five-minute clip was recorded during an election preparation meeting in support of BNP candidate Mishkatul Islam Chowdhury Pappa in Chittagong’s Chambal Union. In his speech, Ahmad claimed that although the Awami League had oppressed BNP activists, Jamaat posed a greater threat. He urged supporters to secure more votes by mobilizing youth participation and criticized those opposing the BNP’s electoral symbol. In response, Jamaat’s Chittagong South joint secretary and local candidate Maulana Zahirul Islam said that despite past political alliances with BNP, Jamaat would respond peacefully to criticism, emphasizing prayer and restraint. Attempts to reach Abu Ahmad for comment were unsuccessful.
