Sources: 7. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-28: Jamaat-e-Islami alleges ruling party patronage of lawlessness in Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami leaders allege that the ruling party is fostering lawlessness and mob terror in Bangladesh to establish one-party rule, citing recent attacks on healthcare facilities and political syndicates. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jamaat-e-islami-alleges-ruling-party-patronage-of-lawlessness-in-bangladesh ### 2026-09-13: Jamaat-e-Islami pledges democratic reform as DUCSU faces election uncertainty Jamaat-e-Islami pledges to strengthen democracy in Bangladesh, while Chhatra Dal demands the removal of Jinnah's portrait from DUCSU archives amid discussions regarding the next DUCSU election. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jamaat-e-islami-pledges-democratic-reform-as-ducsu-faces-election-uncertainty --- Cite as: Jamaat-e-Islami political activity in Bangladesh.
