 RANGPUR, Oct 21, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Moulana Abdul Halim today said that the upcoming Jatiya Sangsad elections should be held in a free, fair and acceptable manner, taking the July National Charter as legal basis. 
 
"Before that, a referendum should be held by next November and the murderers of all July-August martyrs, including Abu Sayeed and Mugdho, should be tried and necessary reforms should be ensured," he said. 
 
He said this as the chief guest at a press conference jointly organized by the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Rangpur District and Metropolitan units at the party office in Shapla Intersection of the city on this night. 
 
Earlier, he spoke at a Rukon conference organized at the same venue with the aim of electing the central Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.
 
The Jamaat leader said, "There is still time, necessary reforms must be made based on the basis of the July Charter. If the existing structure is not changed, blood donation of thousands of students and the public will be of no use."
 
"Before the election, the oppression, torture, genocide and corruption of the previous fascist regime must be visibly judged," he said.
 
The fascist Awami League's allies, the Jatiya Party and the 14 parties, had been killing people, oppressing and torturing the nation and looting the country's resources for 15 years. 
 
For this reason, he also demanded that the activities of the Jatiya Party and the 14 parties, the allies of the fascist dictatorship, be banned. 
 
Vice-principal Moulana ATM Azam Khan, a member of the Central Majlis-e-Shura of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Rangpur Metropolitan Ameer preside over the Rukon conference and press conference. 
 
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Central Working Committee member Professor Mahbubur Rahman Belal, Forum of Diploma Engineers President Muhammad Abdus Sattar Shah, Rangpur District Secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Moulana Enamul Haque, Rangpur Metropolitan Secretary Anwarul Haque Kajal, Kotwali Thana Ameer Moulana Golam Kibria, among others, were present.
