Will make women’s higher education cost-free: Jamaat Ameer

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman on Monday said “some people” are out to “dishonour” the Islamist party for speaking out against repression of women.

In reality, if Jamaat is voted to power in the 12 February elections, the party leaders would hold women in the highest esteem, he said at an election rally held at Baharchhara area of Cox’s Bazar town.

As part of its women-focused initiatives, Jamaat will make women’s education free until the master’s studies, Shafiqur said.

If the Jamaat-led 11-party alliance forms the next government, it would work to establish justice for all in the country. Every crime committed in the past could be forgiven, except the Awami League regime’s atrocities during the July-August 2024 uprising, the Jamaat chief said.
