Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and opposition leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman extended Eid-ul-Fitr greetings to the nation in a statement released on Wednesday. He said the festival arrives as the country celebrates its first national election in a fascism-free environment and the formation of a new government. He expressed hope that citizens would now live without fear or discrimination and that corruption, extortion, and injustice would end.

Dr. Rahman emphasized that all political parties had signed the July National Charter 2025, which received nearly 70% approval in a national referendum. He expressed concern over what he described as the government’s reluctance to implement the charter, warning that the public would not tolerate any delay. He called for cooperation between the government and opposition to fulfill the people’s aspirations through swift implementation.

He also prayed for those who sacrificed for a fascism-free nation and urged citizens to build a compassionate, united society beyond divisions during the Eid celebrations.
