Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has publicly issued an unconditional apology on behalf of his party for any pain or harm caused by Jamaat since 1947. Speaking at a discussion with journalists in New York on October 22, he said that previous Jamaat leaders, including Ghulam Azam and Motiur Rahman Nizami, had also offered similar apologies. Dr. Rahman emphasized that as humans, Jamaat members could make mistakes and that acknowledging and apologizing for them was a moral responsibility. He reiterated that the apology extended up to October 22, 2025, covering all who may have suffered due to the party’s actions. The Jamaat chief also called for a referendum on political reforms, including proportional representation, before the upcoming national election. He assured that minorities would live safely under Jamaat’s rule and said the party seeks an equal, respectful relationship with India.
