The Bangladesh Police Service Association has strongly protested remarks made by Jamaat-e-Islami leader Shahjahan Chowdhury, who urged party members to bring local administrations under their influence ahead of the next national election. In a statement issued Monday night, the association said such comments undermine the professionalism and neutrality of a key democratic institution and incite political misuse of law enforcement. The association described the remarks as 'ambitious and derogatory' toward the police. Shahjahan Chowdhury, a central executive member of Jamaat and former MP, made the comments at a rally in Chattogram on Saturday, sparking widespread criticism on social media. The association emphasized that the Bangladesh Police operates under the constitution and law, and that attempts in the past to politicize the force have damaged public trust. It reaffirmed that ahead of the February 2026 parliamentary election, the police remain neutral, professional, and accountable to the people.
