Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Sunday said false and misleading information was being circulated on social media regarding his views and the party’s position on women. He made the remarks in a post from his verified Facebook account, stating that the clarification was intended to address misinformation and refocus attention on Jamaat-e-Islami’s stated policies. “False and misleading content is being circulated on social media to misrepresent our position. Dr Shafiqur said the party’s manifesto had been clear from the outset, emphasising women’s active and dignified participation in education, healthcare, administration, entrepreneurship and public service. The clarification comes a day after a controversial post was shared from the Jamaat ameer’s verified X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday afternoon, drawing widespread criticism for insulting women.
