In Chuadanga’s Alamdanga upazila, seventy-one leaders and activists from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) formally joined Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on Tuesday evening. The joining ceremony, held at Jehela Union and organized by Jamaat-e-Islami, was attended by Masud Parvez Russell, assistant secretary of the district Jamaat and parliamentary candidate for Chuadanga-1, who welcomed the new members with flowers and greetings.

Russell stated that Jamaat’s ideology is based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), emphasizing justice, honesty, and accountability. He added that the party believes in service-oriented politics rather than a pursuit of power. Among the new members were former ward president Kazi Yunus, secretary Imarat, and several local BNP and Jubo Dal leaders.

Local Jamaat and Islami Chhatra Shibir leaders also attended the event, signaling Jamaat’s continued grassroots mobilization ahead of potential national political developments. The move reflects ongoing political realignments in rural Bangladesh as parties prepare for future electoral contests.
