Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mia Golam Parwar has stated that his party is prepared to take part in the national election once the government completes the necessary steps, including local government elections, war crimes trials, and key reforms.

He reiterated Jamaat’s long-standing demand for a proportional representation electoral system. Criticizing the prevailing political culture, Parwar said, “In speeches, we often hear people say the party is bigger than the individual, and the country is bigger than the party. But when it comes to action, personal interest comes first, then the party, and lastly the nation. Such politics will only harm the country.”

Parwar added that Jamaat is willing to cooperate with the interim government but stressed that the government must demonstrate integrity and impartiality. He warned that failure to ensure a free and fair election would bring unprecedented disaster to the nation. He also underscored the urgent need for national unity in this critical period.
