NEWS DESK: Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, stated that justice, reform, and elections must proceed simultaneously. He warned that holding an election before justice and reform would be a disaster for the nation.

He made this statement on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) at an event titled 'Implementation of Recommendations from the UN Fact-Finding Report.'

The Jamaat Ameer said, "The Awami League is organized around the July movement. No election can take place before the trial of crimes against humanity." He further added, "The martyr families demand that we do not want any election until justice is served."

Dr. Shafiqur Rahman expressed, "We want justice for the Awami League, but we also ensure that injustice is not done to them in the name of justice. They should be given the justice they deserve." The Jamaat Ameer also proposed that if the government takes the initiative for the treatment and rehabilitation of those injured in the July movement, the Jamaat will assist.

Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, and NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain were present at the event.
