Online Desk  :  Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Friday underscored the need for national unity rooted in the spirit of the 2024 student-people mass revolution.  Speaking at the Rukan (Members) Council of the Jamaat-e-Islami Gazipur district unit, he urged all political parties to align with the collective movement rather than diverge from its principles, reports UNB. “We want to make it clear that the foundation of national unity must be the 2024 mass revolution,” Dr Shafiqur said. “Our party and others must not consider paths that ignore the spirit of this movement.”

He further appealed to political leaders, urging them not to oppose the people’s collective demands. “We must stand unwaveringly with the people,” he said, warning that no party should attempt to disregard or undermine the just aspirations of the public. Addressing the need for cohesion among political factions, he said, “This country belongs to all of us. Our nation does not want to see divisions among parties over fundamental interests.”  He highlighted the importance of national solidarity to confront ongoing and future challenges, saying, “We must face every crisis and conspiracy as one, with a strong unity, Inshallah.”

The Jamaat chief also spoke to the aspirations of the younger generation, stressing their desire for a “humane Bangladesh” where civil rights are guaranteed from birth to death. “We envision a welfare state that upholds justice for all citizens without exception,” he said. Central Jamaat leaders, including Muhammad Ijjat Ullah, Dr Samiul Haque Faruki, Dr. Khalilur Rahman Madani, and Abul Hashem Khan, also addressed the gathering.
