Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman stated that Bangladesh would make a significant leap forward if extortion and corruption were stopped. He made the remarks on Thursday at an election rally in Karwan Bazar, Dhaka-12 constituency, in support of Jamaat-nominated parliamentary candidate Saiful Alam Khan Milon.

During his speech, Dr. Rahman emphasized the potential of the country’s youth, saying that no other nation has as many young people as Bangladesh. He described the youth as the architects of the nation’s future and said they should not be humiliated by being given unemployment allowances. Instead, he pledged to turn their hands into those of skilled workers.

The comments were made as part of Jamaat-e-Islami’s election campaign activities in Dhaka, focusing on anti-corruption and youth empowerment themes.
