Jamaat leader General Maulana ATM Masum has called for a combined movement and electoral campaign to ensure political change. Speaking to party supporters, Masum said Jamaat aims to establish a just and welfare-oriented state ensuring people’s rights. He urged the Bangladesh Labour Welfare Federation to play a vital role in securing Jamaat candidates’ victories. “We have rolled out a five-point program for free and fair elections. The July Accord must be given legal recognition, the next parliamentary election must adopt proportional representation, and a level playing field for all parties must be ensured,” Masum said. He also demanded visible justice for what he termed “Awami fascism” and stressed the need for an interim government to oversee reforms before elections.
