Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, the Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, extended Eid-ul-Fitr greetings to the nation. In a statement, he remarked, "After a month of fasting, Eid-ul-Fitr brings a message of joy. The nation is celebrating this Eid at a time when the people have achieved their second independence through a mass movement led by students and citizens. Freed from 15 years of oppression, people can now breathe in a liberated environment, speak freely, and live in peace." He also prayed for the martyrs and the injured while expressing hope for a free and fair election.
