Accepting the results of the 13th National Parliament elections, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has announced to work as a responsible opposition party. He made the announcement in a post on his verified Facebook page at 1:44 am on Friday (February 13).
\nThe Jamaat Ameer wrote, \u201cIn the past few months, countless volunteers and supporters have worked tirelessly, I express my gratitude to you. Many have dedicated their time, energy and faith, while some have been subjected to intimidation and harassment while exercising their democratic rights. Their courage has strengthened democracy.\u201d
\nAddressing the leaders and activists, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said, \u201cMany may be disappointed and hurt by the election results, but their efforts have not been in vain. By winning 77 seats in this election, the party\u2019s presence in parliament has increased almost fourfold and Jamaat has become a strong opposition party in the politics of modern Bangladesh. This is not a setback. This is a foundation.\u2019
\nNoting that the fortunes of politics are changing, the Jamaat Amir said, \u2018In 2008, BNP came down to 30 seats. The party is on track to form the government in 2026, a journey that has taken 18 years. Democratic politics is a long journey. Our goal is clear – to gain trust, to have the ability to be accountable for the future and to prepare responsibly.\u2019
\nDr. Shafiqur Rahman further mentioned in the post that the real test of leadership depends not only on the election campaign but also on how the verdict of the people is accepted.
\nHe further wrote, \u2018Our movement has never depended on elections. Our goal is to strengthen democratic culture, protect the rights of citizens and build a just and accountable state. Jamaat will play its role in parliament as an ethical, responsible and peaceful opposition party and will make a constructive contribution to national progress by ensuring the accountability of the government. Our commitment to ethical and peaceful politics is unwavering.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
