Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has claimed that attempts were made to tarnish his character because of his strong stance in favor of women. He made the remarks on Saturday afternoon while addressing an election rally at Sylhet Government Alia Madrasa field ahead of the 13th National Parliamentary Election. Rahman said his social media account had been hacked and alleged that those responsible had been caught, yet continued to speak against him.

During his speech, Rahman reiterated his commitment to ensuring voting rights for expatriate Bangladeshis, arguing that their contributions through remittances make them deserving of full electoral participation. He criticized those who questioned the need for expatriates to vote, emphasizing their economic importance to the nation.

Earlier the same day, Rahman also addressed election rallies in Habiganj’s New Field and Moulvibazar’s Kulaura, continuing his campaign activities ahead of the upcoming election.
