BNP Standing Committee member Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku has urged voters not to vote for Jamaat-e-Islami, criticizing the party’s stance on women’s participation in the workforce. Speaking on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at an election meeting in Bhadraghat Bazar of Kamarkhand upazila, Sirajganj, Tuku referenced a statement by Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman that he said demeaned women working outside the home. He displayed the interview on his mobile phone before the audience and appealed to voters, especially women, to reject Jamaat.
Tuku emphasized that rising commodity prices have made it necessary for both husbands and wives to earn to support their families. He said women now work in mills, factories, and fields, and criticized Jamaat for wanting to confine them indoors. He called on supporters to strengthen his hand and that of BNP leader Tarique Rahman, expressing hope that Rahman would become the country’s prime minister. Tuku also criticized the banned Awami League, claiming BNP activists had struggled for 17 years to restore voting rights and endured imprisonment and repression.
Local BNP and volunteer leaders from Sirajganj district and Kamarkhand upazila were present at the event.
