Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Wednesday revealed that his X account was hacked four days ago to circulate false information, and the perpetrator has finally been identified and arrested.
‘After my account was hacked, a group allegedly launched online attacks, reportedly chanting “tai re nai re.” Shockingly, some senior leaders were said to have endorsed the attacks. However, our cyber team swiftly identified the accused and police arrested him. “Truth can never be hidden,” he said.
Shafiqur made the remarks while addressing an election rally organised by the 11-party alliance at Kurigram College ground.
The top Jamaat-e-Islami leader has emphasized that the party does not aim to form a partisan government, despite being described as the “largest party of the current era.” “We do not want dynastic politics or group-based rule. We do not even seek victory for Jamaat. What we want is the victory of 18 crore people”, he stated.
Reflecting on the 2024 movement in the Rangpur region, he paid tribute to Abu Sayed, noting that his bravery had played a key role in igniting the July movement.
“He took three bullets to his chest, not his back. That is heroism. You are truly fortunate people,” he told the gathering.
Dr Shafiqur said Abrar Fahad was the first to embrace martyrdom as an uncompromising fighter against authoritarianism, followed by Abu Sayed, Sharif, Osman Hadi and others.
“Nearly 1,400 people have been martyred one after another. The bodies of these 1,400 heroes are now on the shoulders of this nation. Our rivers have turned red with their blood. We will never betray these martyrs,” he said.
Dr. Shafiqur pledged that if Jamaat comes to power, development projects would be launched in Kurigram, which he described as one of the country’s most underdeveloped districts.
Among others, NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain, Kurigram district Jamaat Ameer Azizur Rahman Swapan, candidates from the four parliamentary constituencies of Kurigram, and senior leaders of Jamaat and the 11-party alliance were present at the rally.
