Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Saturday alleged that a level playing field is yet to be established for the upcoming national election, urging all political parties and state institutions to work collectively to ensure a fair and credible process.
“If the election is not held as scheduled, a national crisis may emerge. A level playing field must be there with the participation of people,” he told reporters at the parade ground of Chittagong College Ground in the city’s Chawkbazar area.
Emphasising his party’s stance against corruption, Dr Rahman reiterated that the election must take place on time.
He urged party supporters to stay prepared, warning that any delay in the polls could push the country into uncertainty.
“We will not allow any crisis to arise. Our position is clear. Our demands are in the interest of the people. Even if we come to power, we will implement the PR (Proportional Representation) method,” he added.
Earlier, the Jamaat chief arrived at the Chittagong College Ground parade field by helicopter in the afternoon, where party leaders welcomed him with flowers.
