Jamaat-e-Islami leader Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher has said his party will not accept any “make-shift” election lacking reforms.

“We see the light of dawn, but unless reforms take place, that light will not flourish—it could be engulfed by darkness,” Taher warned.

He urged political parties to engage in inter-party dialogue to build trust and formulate a fair election plan. “We are working with all parties outside BNP to reach an electoral consensus, though the Jatiya Party will not be included,” he said.

Taher also cautioned: “If any party assumes victory is guaranteed, it means they are relying on mechanisms to manipulate results.”

Addressing local issues in Comilla, he highlighted traffic congestion and waterlogging as key problems and said efforts are underway to establish Comilla as a separate division during the tenure of the current government.
