Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Dr. Hamidur Rahman Azad has accused the BNP of rejecting the February 12 referendum verdict on constitutional reform by using its power. He made the remarks on Wednesday while addressing a meeting with leaders of the Faridpur city and district units of Islami Chhatra Shibir.

Azad stated that 71 percent of voters supported constitutional reform, not mere amendment, and claimed that Jamaat-e-Islami, along with 11 allied parties, continues both parliamentary and street movements to implement the people's verdict. He expressed determination to compel the government to accept this demand through a united public movement.

He further said that Bangladesh remains trapped in corruption and misrule due to a lack of honest and competent leadership, urging Chhatra Shibir members to take responsibility for filling this gap. Azad emphasized character building, ideological development, organizational discipline, and standing by students at all levels.
