Masud Saeedi, the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami candidate for the Pirojpur-1 constituency, said that the spirit of former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia would find peace only when fascism is eradicated from the country. He made the remarks on Wednesday afternoon at a memorial and prayer meeting for Khaleda Zia, organized by Kuakata Istanbul Hotel and Resort Limited. Saeedi called for national unity to build a peaceful and prosperous Bangladesh and to uproot the remnants of fascism. During his speech, Saeedi praised Khaleda Zia’s contributions to democracy, Islamic values, and her respect for religious scholars. He recalled her stance during the 2013 Shapla Chattar incident and her rejection of the Shahbagh movement. He also shared personal memories, noting that Khaleda Zia supported his family when his father, Allama Delwar Hossain Saeedi, was imprisoned. Saeedi urged BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman to continue Khaleda Zia’s efforts to unite all political groups for national development. He emphasized that the upcoming election’s outcome would be decided by the people and called for unity regardless of who comes to power.
