Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Leader of the Opposition Dr. Shafiqur Rahman reaffirmed his party’s commitment to defending citizens’ rights and fulfilling promises made to the public. He made the remarks on Sunday night at a meeting with local dignitaries in Dhaka’s Kafrul West Thana, organized by the party’s Dhaka North unit. The event was chaired by Thana Ameer Abdul Matin Khan and conducted by Thana Secretary M. Atik Hasan Raihan, with several central and city-level leaders also addressing the gathering.

Dr. Rahman recalled his candidacy in the 2018 election under the 20-party alliance, alleging voter intimidation and violence during that poll. He said he withdrew then but was later elected after the July uprising, crediting voters’ trust in Jamaat’s pledge to build a corruption-free and humane society. He vowed to continue efforts to establish justice and equality, regardless of parliamentary status, and urged unity to create a Bangladesh free from oppression, corruption, and discrimination.

He emphasized that Jamaat remains determined to pursue change and will not be deterred by obstacles in its mission to secure citizens’ rights.
