Senior Nayeb-e-Ameer of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, Maulana Yusuf Ashraf, stated that half of Bangladesh’s development budget is lost to corruption and that effective implementation is possible only if corruption is eliminated. He made the remarks at a press briefing at the party’s central office in Purana Paltan, Dhaka, where the party presented its proposals for the 2026–27 national budget.

The written proposal, presented by Secretary General Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmad, described the proposed 9.3 trillion taka budget as one of the largest in the country’s history but warned that without just and effective planning, it would not improve living standards. The proposal identified inflation, unemployment, revenue shortfall, stagnant investment, and rising foreign debt as key economic challenges. It recommended reducing tariffs on essential goods, expanding OMS programs, providing direct subsidies to farmers, and promoting digital supply systems.

The party also called for interest-free financing through Islamic banking, AI-based education support, and the establishment of “Digital Skills Hubs” in each division. It proposed Sukuk bonds, waqf-based social development, and tax relief for zakat payers, alongside recognition and welfare for families of those killed in past movements.
