BNP Election Steering Committee spokesperson and party chairperson’s adviser Mahdi Amin has condemned an alleged misogynistic post from the verified X (Twitter) account of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman. Speaking at a press conference in Gulshan, Dhaka, on Sunday, Amin said that if the post is genuine, it represents a dangerous attempt to push society into medieval darkness. He noted that the post, made on January 31, suggested women face exploitation and moral decline when leaving home in the name of modernity.

Amin questioned the credibility of Jamaat’s claim that the account was hacked about nine hours after the post drew widespread criticism. He pointed out inconsistencies in the timeline of the hacking report and the general diary filed at Hatirjheel police station. Amin further accused Jamaat of a history of misogynistic behavior, citing previous remarks by its leaders and the party’s exclusion of women from leadership roles.

He reaffirmed BNP’s commitment to women’s freedom, dignity, and equality, describing Jamaat’s stance toward working women as deeply insulting and contrary to the values of a civilized society.
