Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman on Friday said the party is not seeking to form a Jamaat government, nor its own victory, but the victory of all 18-crore people of Bangladesh.
He made the remarks during a large election rally at Narail Government High School ground, organized by the district Jamaat-e-Islami.
Addressing the gathering as the chief guest, Dr. Rahman said, “Bangladesh now needs a breath of relief. Returning to old politics has held the country back. We want to change this Bangladesh by relying on Allah. On February 12, the people have the chance to reject old politics with a ‘No’ and say ‘Yes’ to a new political path. ‘Yes’ means freedom, ‘No’ means slavery.”
He added, “We want a safe and proud Bangladesh for everyone. We are not after a Jamaat government or our own victory; we want the victory of all 18-crore people. He urged the attendees to support the symbol of justice, Daripalla.”
The rally was presided over by Narail-2 candidate Ataur Rahman Bacchu. Also, present were Dhaka South Kormi Parishad member Shamsur Rahman, Narail-1 candidate Maulana Md. Obaidullah Kaiser, district Jamaat leaders, and a large number of supporters, journalists, and people from various walks of life.
