Khulna: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General and Khulna-5 parliamentary candidate Golam Parwar today articulated the aspirations of the Bangladeshi populace for a transformative ‘new Bangladesh.’ He emphasized the failures of those who have been in power over the past 54 years, citing issues in governance, honesty, and morality.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Parwar addressed an election rally at Shironmoni KDA Market, expressing that change is necessary to prevent those who have engaged in corruption, extortion, and human rights violations from continuing to lead the country. He criticized previous governments for their role in politicizing the administration, misappropriating state resources, and stifling dissent.
Parwar argued against giving another chance to those who have consistently failed the nation and pledged that if Jamaat assumes power, its officials will serve the people rather than exploit state privileges. He highlighted his past contributions to infrastructure and development in the constituency and outlined plans to tackle waterlogging, enhance youth employment, expand technical education, and improve healthcare facilities.
On the topic of minority rights, Parwar assured that Jamaat would guarantee religious freedom, referencing the communal harmony in Dumuria and Fultala as positive examples. The rally, chaired by Khanjahan Ali thana Jamaat Ameer Syed Hasan Mahmud Tito, also featured speeches by DUCSU GS SSM Farhad, National Citizen Party Leader Dr. Mahmuda Mitu, and Khulna District Jamaat Secretary Munshi Mizanur Rahman.
SSM Farhad emphasized voter awareness and the importance of election integrity, recalling past incidents of intimidation and irregularities. He advocated for transparency using digital platforms to monitor budgets and address misconduct.
Dr. Mahmuda Mitu highlighted the need for ethical leadership and responsiveness to public needs, stating that moral character and understanding of citizens’ problems are crucial for governance. She condemned violence against women and stressed that such behavior renders individuals unfit to govern.
