Islami Chhatra Shibir’s central president, Zahidul Islam, announced that the era of violent and stone-throwing politics in Bangladesh is over. Speaking at a rally in Uzirpur Union, Comilla, on Sunday evening, he said the country has undergone a major transformation following the July–August mass uprising and the fall of what he termed a fascist regime. According to him, a new generation of students has rejected destructive political practices and embraced a culture of respect and constructive engagement.

Islam criticized certain political groups and individuals for continuing divisive and violent tactics, claiming they have taken up the same oppressive actions once associated with the previous government. He emphasized that Bangladesh’s future politics must be based on tolerance, integrity, and non-violence. The event was part of an election campaign supporting Jamaat-e-Islami leader Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher’s candidacy, attended by several local party leaders.

Observers note that such statements reflect Jamaat’s attempt to reposition itself within a changing political landscape, emphasizing reform and peaceful activism.
