Islami Andolan Bangladesh has blamed Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami for the failure to implement the 'One Box Policy', accusing it of political ambition and monopolistic behavior. The announcement came during a press conference held on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at the Comilla Press Club, organized by the party’s district election management committee. The party also declared its decision to contest in 11 parliamentary constituencies in Comilla.

In a written statement, Islami Andolan leaders said the 'One Box Policy' was designed to unite Islamist forces for the welfare of Islam, the nation, and humanity, but the initiative faltered due to Jamaat’s unilateral conditions and dominance in seat-sharing discussions. They alleged that Jamaat prioritized its own interests, sidelined other Islamist groups, and engaged in secret deals with other parties, including BNP and NCP, while spreading propaganda against Islami Andolan.

The party reiterated its commitment to unity based on mutual respect and procedural fairness, rejecting any attempt to monopolize Islamic politics. It emphasized that its political activities would continue for the welfare of Islam, the country, and humanity.
