Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman declared that his party aims to change what he described as a corrupt and destructive political culture that has persisted for 54 years. Speaking as the chief guest at an 11-party alliance election rally held at Nimsar Junab Ali Degree College field in Burichang upazila of Comilla at 1 p.m., he said they want to build a humane and dignified Bangladesh that stands proudly on the global stage.

He pledged that if the 11-party alliance is elected, they would never act unjustly toward the people. The rally was presided over by Advocate Mobarak Hossain, Jamaat’s candidate for Comilla-5, and attended by Assistant Secretary General A.T.M. Masum, former Daksu VP Sadiq Kayem, and Islami Chhatra Shibir’s central secretary Sigbatullah.
