CHATTOGRAM, Nov 23, 2025 (BSS) – Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has vowed to eliminate corruption from the country if his party assumes power and said that many political parties lack courage and feel shy to loudly make such statement.
“ Some parties unable to say to establish corruption-free Bangladesh as they would get laughs and people would laugh also to hear such announcement from them” the Jamaat Chief made the remarks while addressing as chief guest at the party’s Election Representatives Conference of Chattogram region held GEC Convention Hall in the city on Saturday night.
Presided over by city Jamaat Ameer Md Nazrul Islam and conducted by secretary Principal Md Nurul Amin, the meeting addressed, among other, by central assistant secretary general Moulana Mohammad Shah Jahan , central and local leaders Prof. Ahsan Ullah, former lawmaker Shah Jahan Chowdhury, Principal Amiruzzaman, Prof. Nurul Amin Chowdhury, Anowarul Alam Chowdhury , Alauddin Sikder , Syed Abul Momen, Abdus Salam Azad, Prof. Moulana Abdul Alim and Advocate Farid Uddin Chowdhury .
Addressing the meeting, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said Jamaat will not allow any quarter to practice old ill-culture of casting vote of others forcibly along with own ones as per his wish and will.
He said his party would continue fight in favor of and stand by oppressed people and fight against oppressor. “We do not allow any quarter or individual this time to be an oppressor,” he added.
Jamaat Ameer said people of the country were deprived of exercising their voting rights in the last three parliamentary elections. Many youth did not have the opportunity to cast votes even for once in entire life, he said, adding that they are eagerly waiting to cast vote in next election.
“So, do not try to snatch their voting rights. If do so, their consequences will also be bitter too. Everybody should take lessen from the past,” he stated.

Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said all Islamic parties and patriotic people are now united to establish an extortion and corruption free country if they achieve people’s mandate in next polls.
“If we assume power and form government, ministers and parliament members will not take government plot or home , tax-free vehicle and lead lavish life” he said.
