BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman has called upon Islamic scholars, imams, and religious leaders across Bangladesh to offer their prayers and support for the party in the upcoming 13th national parliamentary election. Speaking virtually from London at the ‘National Imam–Khatib Conference 2025’ held in Dhaka’s Agargaon, Rahman emphasized that BNP’s governance philosophy would be based on justice and fairness inspired by the ideals of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He pledged that if BNP assumes power, the party would introduce honorariums for imams and muezzins and address their legitimate demands. Rahman also urged religious leaders to remain vigilant against divisive interpretations of Islam that could cause social unrest. The event was attended by top Islamic scholars and leaders from various political and religious organizations, including Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Andolon Bangladesh, highlighting BNP’s efforts to strengthen ties with religious communities ahead of the election.
