Maulana Abdul Halim, Assistant Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and regional director for Rangpur-Dinajpur, has called on the government to quickly implement the promises made to the public regarding the referendum held before the national election. Speaking on Friday afternoon at the closing session of a two-day workers’ training camp in Syedpur, Nilphamari, he warned that failure to act could lead to renewed public movements demanding enforcement of the people’s verdict.

Halim stated that both the national election and the referendum were conducted under the same presidential order, and ignoring the 70 percent public mandate for reform would amount to deception and insult to the people. He added that government ministers and lawmakers were becoming disconnected from citizens due to disregard for public opinion. Addressing party workers, he urged them to verify information before reacting and to remain vigilant against misinformation.

The event was presided over by Syedpur city Jamaat chief Sharafuddin Khan and attended by several regional and national Jamaat leaders, including MPs and organizational secretaries from Nilphamari.
