Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has called for a fear-free and fair election that reflects public opinion and allows voters to cast ballots without intimidation. He made the remarks on Wednesday while visiting injured party activists at Ibn Sina Hospital in Dhaka’s Kalyanpur. According to Jamaat, sixteen of its activists were injured in two separate attacks allegedly carried out by BNP supporters in Mirpur’s Pirerbag area on Tuesday.

Rahman condemned the incidents, claiming that BNP members assaulted and detained female Jamaat activists before law enforcement intervened. He urged authorities to ensure equal opportunities for all parties and to take legal action against those involved in violence. He emphasized that no group has the right to create mobs or disrupt campaigns, and that political differences should be resolved through lawful and peaceful means.

The Jamaat chief reiterated his party’s commitment to a corruption-free and just society, urging all candidates to respect voters’ rights. He warned that any attempt to undermine citizens’ voting rights would be met with a strong response through the ballot box.
