The Jamaat-e-Islami-led alliance has announced preparations to play a constructive and responsible opposition role in Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliament. Following the February 17 oath-taking of its 77 members, Jamaat Amir and Opposition Leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman declared the party’s intention to support government initiatives that serve national interests while opposing actions deemed harmful to the people. The alliance aims to replace confrontational politics with a positive, issue-based approach both inside and outside parliament.

Jamaat has already organized training sessions for its newly elected MPs to familiarize them with parliamentary procedures, committee functions, and legislative responsibilities. The sessions, held on February 18–19 in Dhaka, were designed to prepare members for effective participation in debates, bill reviews, and oversight activities. Party leaders, including Assistant Secretary General Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan and MPs Mufti Amir Hamza and Kamal Hossain, emphasized their commitment to constructive politics and public service.

The alliance’s leadership stated that their goal is to establish a culture of responsible opposition similar to that seen in developed democracies, ensuring that parliament becomes a meaningful center for national dialogue and accountability.
