Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary Rafiqul Islam Khan said that if his party comes to power, women will have greater opportunities in public service and banking. Speaking on Sunday afternoon at a campaign rally in Alampur Chourasta of Kazipur upazila, Sirajganj, he stated that women would be able to take the BCS exam, become police officers, secretaries, and bank managers. He added that banks managed by women would serve only female customers, eliminating the need for women to stand in mixed queues to withdraw money.

During the same rally organized by Kazipur Upazila Jamaat-e-Islami, Rafiqul Islam Khan questioned who is more qualified to be prime minister, comparing Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman and BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman. He claimed that the Awami League’s 16-year record was surpassed by the BNP’s performance in one year without being in power, accusing the BNP of corruption and extortion. The event was presided over by Kazipur Upazila Jamaat Ameer Zahidul Islam, with several district leaders also addressing the gathering.
