KHULNA, Sept 28, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general and former parliament member Mia Golam Parwar has said that Islam ensures dignity for people of all faiths and communities.
He stressed that if Islam had been established in state governance, people of all religions, castes, and professions would have enjoyed equal security, honor, and rights.
He made the remarks on Saturday evening while visiting various Puja mandaps and exchanging views with Hindu devotees at Raghunathpur and Rangpur unions of Dumuria upazila in Khulna.
"Since independence, in the past 54 years, the absence of Islam in the state has denied equal rights and security to all. Instead, people have suffered from oppression and injustice," Parwar remarked.
He said Jamaat-e-Islami wants to establish an Islamic system of governance based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Referring to the Khilafat-e-Rashida, he said Islam ushered in a golden era of justice and equality during that time.
"Now, after the July Mass Uprising, the time has come to rebuild Bangladesh with justice, where there will be no discrimination, oppression, terrorism, extortion, or Hindu-Muslim division," he added.
Parwar further assured the Hindu community of complete safety during their religious festivities.
"I have already met with law enforcement officials and instructed our activists to ensure that no evil force can create obstacles during your religious celebrations. Jamaat has always stood by you, and we will continue to do so in the future," he said.
Parwar reassured that homes, temples, churches, and other places of worship belonging to minority communities would be protected.
"This country belongs to all of us. It is our responsibility to maintain a safe and peaceful environment. Jamaat believes that with the cooperation of all religious groups, especially the Hindu community, a self-reliant and prosperous Bangladesh can be built," he emphasized.
Jamaat leaders Munshi Mizanur Rahman, Munshi Moinul Islam, Prof. Mia Golam Kuddus, and Dumuria Chhatra Shibir president Mostafa Al Mujahid, along with local Hindu community leaders including Dr Haridas Mondal, Prof Deb Prasad Mondal, Animesh Biswas, and Komolesh Biswas, among others, were present.
