Jamaat, BNP united on national unity

 
Jamaat-e-Islami chief Shafiqur Rahman has said that the party agrees with BNP's stance on national unity. Speaking to the media on Thursday after a meeting with Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus at his Jamuna residence, Shafiqur responded to questions regarding his party's position on the national unity called for by BNP, bdnews24 reports.

He said, "We fully agree with BNP on national unity. There is no disagreement on this matter. National unity is essential." He added, "We must identify those who seek to destroy the peace and order of the country and confront them unitedly." The religion-based party leader disclosed that the discussion with the chief advisor centred on the country's situation and steps toward a fair election while maintaining peace.

"We talked about strengthening national unity, improving administration, and tackling the rising cost of living, which is burdening the people," he said.

Regarding law and order, Shafiqur said: "We discussed recent incidents and agreed to move forward together with the people to advance the nation." He emphasised the need for accountability, saying: "Anyone involved in acts against national interests must be brought under the law. Restoring peace and order requires maximum national unity."

"Differences in party, opinion, and religion are natural, but we must remain united for the national interest," he said.
