Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Dr. Shafiqul Rahman has commented that lawlessness and the influence of Indian culture have led to an increase in shamelessness and misconduct in households.

He made these remarks while addressing a prayer meeting for Afiya, the victim of rape and abuse, at the Sonakundi Government Primary School grounds in Magura on Saturday morning (March 15).

In his speech, Dr. Shafiqul Rahman said, “Sexual abuse and rape against women are not being stopped due to the lack of justice in the country. Therefore, a justice-based state structure should be established.”

He further stated, “We are fighting for the implementation of Islamic laws, as they will ensure justice. We want the case of rape to be heard and a verdict passed within 90 days.”

Following his speech, a special prayer was held for the salvation of the deceased child’s soul.

Earlier, Dr. Shafiqul Rahman arrived by helicopter at the Subdallpur Union Secondary School. The event was chaired by Magura District Amir Professor M.B. Bakir. Other distinguished guests included Dr. Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher, Deputy Amir of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, and central executive council member and director for the Jessore-Kushtia region, Mohammad Mobarak Hossain.

The event was conducted by Mohammad Ibrahim Biswas, President of the District Labor Welfare Federation. Other speakers included former District Amir Abdul Matin, Assistant Director of Jessore-Kushtia, Professor Said Ahmed Bachchu, former Deputy Amir of the District Jamaat, Hafiz Maulana Liakat Ali Khan, Assistant Secretary Abdul Gaffar, and many other district leaders and members of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir.
