At Jamaat’s ‘Election Responsibility Rally’ in Kalibazar Union, Chauddagram Upazila, Dr. Taher said, “The interim government had pledged neutrality, reforms, and visible justice before elections. Yet, the Chief Adviser broke that promise by announcing the election date prematurely.”

Dr. Taher criticized the Election Commission’s roadmap as a plan to sabotage a free and fair election.

He clarified that Jamaat supports holding elections in February and is preparing for polls on February 15. However, he emphasized that key issues must be resolved first—particularly giving legal recognition to the July Charter, which should form the basis of the election. Without addressing these concerns, the announced roadmap threatens the election’s integrity.
“We won’t allow this to happen. We will pressure the government and Election Commission to hold elections under the July Charter and proportional representation (PR),” he declared.

Dr. Taher also condemned the Election Commission for announcing the roadmap before deciding between the traditional election method and the new PR system, calling this a major misconduct. He demanded a formal apology from the EC to the public.

The rally was presided over by Chauddagram Upazila Jamaat Ameer Md. Mahfuzur Rahman.
