Shahjahan Chowdhury: “The administration will act at our command, arrest at our command”

Staff Correspondent

A new controversy has arisen over the statement of Shahjahan Chowdhury, a member of the Jamaat-e-Islami Central Working Committee and the party’s nominated candidate for Chittagong-15 (Satkaniya Lohagara) constituency.

He said that Jamaat controls the activities of the current Yunus government, indicating that he told the leaders and activists present that this opportunity will not come again for Jamaat in the future. We must bring everyone who is found in the administration under our control. They will arrest us on our word, file cases on our word. We will control the administration.

Sudhijan believes that Shahjahan Chowdhury’s statement shows that the election will be influenced by Jamaat.

He said this at a gathering of Jamaat’s Chittagong election officials at the GEC Convention Center in Chittagong yesterday evening.

A video of his speech went viral on social media overnight, where he can be heard insisting on bringing field administration under party control.

Although the chief guest at the rally, Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman was not present on stage during the speech.

In his speech to the central leaders, Shahjahan Chowdhury also said that starting from primary school teachers to all higher secondary teachers, they will talk about the scales. The OC will know your program, the TNO will get the development account from you.

Political analysts say that the language of Shahjahan Chowdhury’s statement is such that Jamaat has control or influence over the administrative structure of the current Yunus government. His statement has given rise to controversy. The fact that the current Yunus government is controlled by Jamaat has come down to the statement of Jamaat leader Shahjahan Chowdhury.
