Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has extended advance congratulations to BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman as the country’s future prime minister. In a Facebook post on Sunday evening, he said Tarique Rahman visited his residence, calling the meeting a historic moment for national politics and expressing hope that it would mark a new chapter of political maturity and mutual respect.

In his statement, Dr. Rahman said he envisions a fascism-free, sovereign Bangladesh founded on justice and fairness. He reaffirmed Jamaat’s commitment, alongside the 11-party alliance, to building a prosperous and democratic state based on constitutional governance. He added that Tarique Rahman assured him of effective measures to prevent post-election violence and attacks on opposition activists or minority communities.

The Jamaat chief also pledged full cooperation with the elected government on matters of national interest while maintaining the party’s ideological stance as a responsible opposition. He emphasized that Jamaat’s goal is reform, not conflict, and that citizens expect a parliament that upholds justice, rights, and stability.
