Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Saturday said his party will extend full support to all reasonable initiatives taken by the government by playing a constructive and responsible role in Parliament. The Jamaat Ameer made the remarks while addressing an iftar mahfil at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre in the capital. Tarique Rahman and Shafiqur Rahman were seen sitting at the same table during iftar alongside other BNP and Jamaat leaders. Shafiqur Rahman said Jamaat-e-Islami does not wish to function as a traditional opposition party in Parliament but is keen to play a meaningful and constructive role there. Just as the ruling party should play a responsible role, we also want to play a responsible and constructive role from the opposition benches,” he said.
