DHAKA, Feb 10, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary  General Advocate Ahsanul Mahboob Zubair today called on the nation not to be  misled by any falsehoods, rumours or propaganda spread against the party's  leaders, including Jamaat Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman. In a statement issued today, Zubair, also Head of Jamaat's Central Publicity  and Media Department, strongly condemned and protested the circulation of  fabricated information involving the party's Ameer and Dhaka-15 parliamentary  candidate Dr Shafiqur Rahman.  "A conspiratorial group is deliberately spreading false and misleading  information linking the Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Dhaka-15  parliamentary candidate Dr Shafiqur Rahman. These claims are entirely  baseless, false, and intentionally fabricated," he said. He further added, "Dr Shafiqur Rahman is an honest, principled, and widely  respected leader among people from all walks of life. The publicised  allegations of monetary inducement against him are nothing but a despicable  conspiracy by politically bankrupt and morally defeated forces." "Threatened by his growing public support, a group of people are attempting  to create confusion through misinformation," he added. Zubair urged the  concerned quarters to immediately stop spreading such falsehoods and appealed  to the public to remain vigilant against deceptive claims.
