Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker ATM Azharul Islam from Rangpur-2 urged the government to bring those involved in what he termed the 'judicial killings' of Jamaat leaders to justice. Speaking during the national budget session chaired by Deputy Speaker Barrister Kaiser Kamal, he alleged that five senior Jamaat leaders, including Motiur Rahman Nizami and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, were executed through false cases. He also claimed that six other central leaders, including Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, died in prison without medical care.

Azharul Islam criticized what he described as continued political discrimination against opposition MPs and said Jamaat had faced the worst repression in the country’s history. He called for moral and religious education reforms, an interest-free economy through Islamic bonds, and measures to curb corruption. He also questioned the government’s commitment to political stability and reform, urging implementation of the “July Charter” and a national referendum.

The MP further demanded immediate construction of the Teesta Barrage, road development, and fulfillment of madrasa teachers’ demands, emphasizing that political stability and integrity are essential for successful budget implementation.
