Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman on Sunday, February 1, 2026, called on all political parties to publicly clarify whether they support reform or fascism. Speaking as chief guest at a large election rally at Singhanjani Multipurpose High School field in Jamalpur town, he said Jamaat stands for a 'yes' to reform and a 'no' to fascism. He criticized parties that remain silent on the issue and urged them to speak openly before the people.

Dr. Rahman strongly condemned harassment of female campaigners, saying mothers seeking votes were being insulted by miscreants. He described the upcoming 2026 election as a turning point, rooted in the sacrifices of the 2024 uprising’s martyrs and injured. He said the election would mark the end of decades of corrupt politics that fostered fascism. He emphasized prioritizing public interest over party interest and called for unity among the 11-party alliance under the 'scales' symbol.

At the event, Dr. Rahman formally handed the 'scales' election symbol to candidates for Jamalpur’s five constituencies, urging them to serve the people rather than seek leadership positions.
