The Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami, Shafiqur Rahman, has strongly criticized BNP MP Monirul Haque Chowdhury’s recent comments in parliament regarding the attire of female opposition members. Rahman stated his organization does not want parliament to become known for inappropriate conduct, referencing a past incident involving a different MP ("Mamtaz"). He emphasized the need for a respectful environment within the parliamentary system and stressed that mutual respect is essential for fostering positive relations. Rahman placed the primary responsibility for maintaining decorum on the ruling party, urging them to act responsibly. He indicated that Jamaat-e-Islami is attempting to restore a more appropriate atmosphere in parliament, but this requires reciprocal consideration. The comments signal concern over the tone of debate and a desire for improved parliamentary standards.
