In the aftermath of Bangladesh’s pivotal 13th parliamentary polls, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has extended formal thanks to Jamaat-e-Islami leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman via a personal letter. Delivered through an official representative, the missive celebrates the Islamist party’s commitment to democratic decorum.
Yunus lauded the extensive involvement of Jamaat candidates under Rahman’s guidance and their graceful acceptance of electoral outcomes. He specifically appreciated the leadership’s role in guiding party members toward peaceful conduct throughout the intense campaign period and beyond.
Reflecting on broader contributions, Yunus noted the party’s valuable input during the interim administration, which helped navigate a turbulent phase. As Bangladesh grapples with economic volatility, tech disruptions, environmental threats, workforce needs, and equity issues, Yunus stressed the need for collaborative governance.
He urged Jamaat-e-Islami to emerge as a responsible opposition force, engaging in ethical discourse, policy advising, voicing citizen concerns, and holding the state accountable to cultivate a vibrant political culture.
Affirming faith in Rahman’s unifying influence, Yunus invoked divine blessings for his well-being and recovery. This outreach signals a potential thaw in Bangladesh’s polarized politics, promoting unity over division in pursuit of national progress.
