DHAKA, Nov 16, 2025 (BSS) - Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam 
Parwar today called for the appointment of neutral officials across all 
administrative tiers, including deputy commissioners (DCs) and 
superintendents of police (SPs), to ensure a level playing field for the 
forthcoming national election.

"A fair and credible election would not be possible if individuals loyal to 
any particular party continue to hold key positions in the administration," 
he said.

Parwar was speaking at a joint press conference of eight political parties at 
the Al-Falah auditorium in Moghbazar at 12:30pm, which came after an earlier 
meeting at 11:00am at the same venue where senior leaders of the alliance sat 
with Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman in the Chair. 

Jamaat leader said "To create a truly level electoral field, neutral 
officials must be appointed at every stage. If partisan officers are placed 
within the administration, a neutral election simply cannot be held."

The press conference was conducted by Jamaat Assistant Secretary General 
Maulana Abdul Halim.

Earlier, at 11:00 am, top leaders of the eight allied parties held a meeting 
at the same venue with Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman.

Charmonai), Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Ameer Maulana Mamunul Haque, Khelafat 
Majlis Ameer Principal Maulana Abdul Basit Azad, Bangladesh Nezam-e-Islam

and Spokesperson Engineer Rashed Pradhan, Bangladesh Development Party 
Chairman Advocate Anwarul Haque Chan and Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan 
Secretary General Maulana Yusuf Sadiq Hakkani were present in the meeting. 

The meeting discussed in detail the Chief Adviser's recent address and the 
prevailing political situation in the country.
