Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Sunday said that Jamaat-e-Islami is a political party, and therefore, the government has granted them permission to hold rallies. However, he strongly refuted any alliance between the government and Jamaat, dismissing claims made by the BNP as baseless and fabricated. Over the past year, the BNP has been involved in disruptive activities across the nation, attempting to devalue the electoral process, he added. Additionally, the minister highlighted that the country's reserves are experiencing notable growth, saying the economic condition of the country is expected to improve in the upcoming days. Addressing the issue of syndicates exploiting the country's crisis period, Hasan Mahmud said that the government has already taken appropriate actions against them.
