Jamaat-e-Islami political activity in Bangladesh
Overview
Jamaat-e-Islami has transitioned from advocating for democratic institutionalization to accusing the current government of fostering lawlessness. On International Democracy Day, party leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman expressed a commitment to building a society free from corruption, citing the July revolution as a historic opportunity to strengthen democracy in Bangladesh.
By late September, the party’s rhetoric shifted toward criticizing the ruling party for allegedly attempting to establish ‘one-party rule’. Jamaat leaders, including Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar and Opposition Leader Shafiqur Rahman, claimed that government patronage has led to increased violence, mob terror, and a deterioration of national security. The party specifically cited the looting of a healthcare facility in Mirpur as evidence of this disorder and also accused the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of forming political syndicates across various administrative levels.
