No govt in 54 years has worked for people’s welfare: Mujibur Rahman
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Senior Naeeb-e Ameer and former MP, Prof. Mujibur Rahman, said on Wednesday afternoon that in the past 54 years, no government has truly worked for the welfare of the people.
He made the remarks at a joint rally of eight political parties at the Eidgah grounds of Rangpur Collectorate, held as part of a divisional campaign demanding a referendum before the national parliamentary elections, creating a level playing field, and fulfilling five-point demands.
Prof. Rahman said, “Some governments may have worked for individuals or parties, but none have worked for humanity or the hereafter. We aim to serve the world and earn benefits in the hereafter, even if it requires lives like that of Abu Saeed. We will implement Allah’s law with our lives.”
He emphasized that the Quranic law must be enacted in the next elections, urging supporters to remain united. “Justice in the country is possible only through the establishment of Islam,” he added.
He also commented on the referendum, saying, “Even if a referendum is held, it will not positively affect the parliamentary elections. Yet, people must support it, those opposing the referendum have been and will continue to be defeated.”
Jamaat’s Naeeb-e Ameer ATM Azharul Islam highlighted corruption as the country’s main problem, saying the nation is rich in resources but lacks honest, corruption-free leadership.
“Past governments have built wealth through corruption and established one-party rule, depriving others of their rights. We trust that voters will choose Islam-oriented patriotic forces in the upcoming elections,” he added.
The divisional rally also featured remarks from several senior leaders, including Mufti Rezawl Karim, Ameer of Islami Andolan Bangladesh; Maulana Yusuf Ashraf, Senior Naeeb-e Ameer of Bangladesh Khilafat Majlis; Maulana Ahmad Ali Kashemi, Naeeb-e Ameer of Khilafat Majlis; Abdul Majed Athari, Senior Naeeb-e Ameer of Bangladesh Nezam-e Islam Party; and Maulana Mujibur Rahman Hamidi, Naeeb-e Ameer of Bangladesh Khilafat Andolon.
Other notable speakers included Engineer Rashed Pradhan, Vice President and Spokesperson of JAGPA; Advocate Anwarul Islam Chan, President of Bangladesh Development Party; Maulana Abdul Halim, Assistant Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami; Prof. Mahbubur Rahman Belal, Central Committee member; ATM Azam Khan, Rangpur Metropolitan Ameer; and Golam Rabbani, Rangpur District Ameer, reports UNB.
