Former BNP lawmaker and freedom fighter Major (Retd.) Akhtaruzzaman Ranjan publicly announced his allegiance to Jamaat-e-Islami during a gathering in Kishoreganj’s Katiadi upazila on Saturday evening. Speaking at a ‘clarification meeting’ at Gachihata College field, Ranjan said Jamaat had given him shelter at a difficult time in his life and that he would remain forever grateful. He stated that he would no longer contest elections but hoped Jamaat would assign him a meaningful role if it came to power.
Ranjan, who previously represented Kishoreganj-2 constituency as a BNP MP, criticized his former party for neglecting him over the past three years. He claimed BNP members had distanced themselves, even excluding him from social events. Addressing the audience, he outlined three appeals to Jamaat: building a corruption-free Bangladesh, ensuring peace through truth, and establishing social justice and human dignity. He also demanded justice for the killing of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.
Local Jamaat leaders, including candidate Maulana Shafiqul Islam Morol, attended the event, which drew thousands of supporters and ended with special prayers for Hadi’s soul.
