Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar said grassroots office-bearers must become capable of addressing internal and external organisational challenges, strengthen leadership acceptance through ethical conduct, and create effective opportunities for young people to join the organisation and its leadership. He made the remarks as chief guest at a three-day training camp for upazila and thana-level officials held from August 25 to 27 at Rangpur Boro Alia Madrasa.

Parwar urged officials to improve their knowledge and wisdom, focus on family formation, and uphold organisational discipline and sacrifice. He said candidate selection should begin for all levels of local government elections, including upazilas, municipalities and unions, alongside stronger public engagement. He also said officials should work with MPs to honour the trust Rangpur voters placed in Jamaat candidates in previous elections.

At a separate meeting with journalists in Rangpur, Parwar criticised the BNP government over the implementation of the July Charter referendum verdict and appointments of administrators. He said an 11-party alliance had carried out programmes demanding implementation of the referendum result. He announced a Dhaka-to-Chattogram long march starting September 5 and another march toward Rangpur beginning after a September 19 rally at Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka.
