Former Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam said Islamic politics is aimed at justice and public welfare, not the pursuit of power. Speaking at a campaign rally organized by Kursha Union Jamaat at Dangar Bazar in Taraganj upazila on Tuesday, he urged voters to support him under the “scale” election symbol in the upcoming national polls. Azhar claimed that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had falsely implicated him in crimes against humanity, but he was later cleared of the charges by divine grace. Calling himself an orphan and elderly, he appealed for public support, assuring that he would not betray their trust if elected. The event was chaired by upazila Jamaat Ameer SM Alamgir Hossain, with participation from local Jamaat leaders and activists.
