Jashore: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman today said that if the party comes to power, all legitimate demands of the people of Jashore, including those related to city corporation development, would be met without discrimination.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dr. Rahman assured the public at an election rally held at Jashore Eidgah Maidan that development programs will be implemented fairly across all districts. No district will receive excessive development projects at the expense of others. He urged voters to cast a ‘Yes’ vote to build a fascism-free Bangladesh and ensure people-centered politics. He also emphasized that the administration should prioritize working for the people rather than serving any particular political party.
Dr. Rahman encouraged voters to support Jamaat-e-Islami candidates to protect citizens from syndicate and extortion activities. Despite facing 17 years of oppression, he stated that the party remains committed to serving the public. He criticized rival parties for filing indiscriminate lawsuits against political opponents and expressed confidence in Jamaat’s disciplined leaders to run the country efficiently. He warned against attempts to steer the country back toward fascism, pledging to oppose such moves with faith and resolve.
He further promised that under Jamaat rule, youth would receive skill-based employment opportunities. Women would enjoy security and respect in all areas, and citizens of all religions would have the freedom to follow their customs and dress as they choose. Dr. Rahman highlighted the party’s commitment to creating respectable job opportunities for the unemployed, particularly young people.
He stressed the importance of people-centered politics over family or faction-based politics, framing the upcoming election as an opportunity to reshape the nation’s political landscape. Discussing the referendum, he highlighted it as a triumph for the country’s 180 million people and described a ‘Yes’ vote as a vote for freedom, while a ‘No’ vote symbolized continued subjugation.
Jamaat Secretary General Professor Mia Golam Parwar, central executive committee members, and candidates from Jashore’s six constituencies were also present at the rally. Following the rally, Dr. Rahman departed for Satkhira and planned to address additional rallies in Khulna and Bagerhat.
