Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has announced that party supporters will not hold victory rallies or celebrations if they win the 13th National Parliamentary Election. Instead, he urged them to offer prostration to Allah in gratitude. The announcement was made on Thursday, February 12, through a post on his verified Facebook page, where he emphasized humility and thanksgiving over public displays of triumph.
In his message, Dr. Rahman wrote that if Allah grants victory to the oppressed, there should be no rallies, slogans, or exuberance, only collective prostration. He added that the party would express heartfelt thanks to Allah and seek divine assistance to serve the nation sincerely. The statement came as vote counting continued following a largely peaceful election day.
According to the report, voting took place from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. across 299 constituencies at 42,958 polling centers, with the Sherpur-3 seat postponed due to a candidate’s death. The election and referendum concluded with only minor incidents reported nationwide.
