At a meeting with leaders of Bangladesh Jamiat-ul-Modarresin, BNP leader Nazrul Islam Khan emphasized the importance of keeping educational institutions free from political influence. "People should have the freedom to practice their beliefs without interference," he said. He highlighted the BNP’s founding principles, noting that late President Ziaur Rahman introduced constitutional elements such as “Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim” and “absolute trust and faith in Allah” to reflect the nation’s values. He praised madrasa teachers for their contribution to religious education, adding, "I’m not here to ask for votes — I seek your prayers." Salahuddin Ahmed echoed this, asserting, "No laws contrary to Islam, the Qur'an, or Sunnah will ever be enacted in Bangladesh." The organization reiterated its non-political stance.
