Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Tuesday said the people of Bangladesh no longer support "old and decayed" politics centred on families, individuals or vested groups. Speaking at an election rally at the Circuit House ground in Mymensingh, Dr Shafiqur called for a government "truly run by the people". Dr Shafiqur said people were increasingly rejecting partisan politics and aspiring for a Bangladesh founded on justice and fairness. Referring to the upcoming election, the Jamaat leader claimed voters had already decided to support candidates who are "tested, known and proven", and who stand for justice, truth and fairness. The rally was presided over by Mymensingh city Jamaat Ameer Kamrul Ahsan Emrul, who introduced candidates from 11 constituencies of Mymensingh and five constituencies of the Netrokona district.
