Mohammad Selim Uddin, central executive council member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Dhaka North city unit chief, and DNCC mayoral candidate, praised journalists for their contribution in addressing national crises. Speaking at a meeting with print media journalists at a restaurant in Karwan Bazar, Dhaka, he said that objective reporting helps expose irregularities and plays a vital role in urban development.

The meeting was organized by the publicity and media division of Dhaka North Jamaat and presided over by Dr. Muhammad Rezaul Karim, a central executive council member and secretary. Selim Uddin highlighted Jamaat’s support for students during the July movement and its assistance to families of those killed or injured. He criticized the government for inaction over border push-in attempts and instability in the financial sector, particularly concerning Islamic Bank. He asserted that public deposit institutions should not be handed over to corrupt interests.

Rezaul Karim expressed confidence that Selim Uddin would gain strong public support in the upcoming Dhaka North City Corporation election and provide capable leadership to meet citizens’ expectations.
