BNP Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed has stated that no law in Bangladesh should be enacted that goes against the Quran, Sunnah, or the principles of Shariah. He made the remarks on Thursday evening (July 7) following a liaison meeting between the BNP and Bangladesh Jamiat-ul-Modarressin. The meeting took place at the Gausul Azam Jame Mosque Complex in Mohakhali, Dhaka.
“We support the expansion of madrasa education in Bangladesh,” said Salahuddin Ahmed. “But we do not want to turn madrasa institutions into hubs of partisan politics.”
He emphasized, “Just as we believe that no law should be enacted against the Quran and Sunnah, or in contradiction to Shariah, the same position is echoed by Islamic parties. This is a shared principle.”
The senior BNP leader further stated that laws should be passed through consensus and dialogue with all ideological groups in the country. “If a law is enacted by uniting diverse opinions, it can be implemented effectively. But if a law goes against the views of a large segment of the population, its enforcement becomes difficult or even impossible.”
Highlighting BNP’s efforts to engage with various groups, Salahuddin said, “We have already spoken with political, non-political, and Islamic groups. We’ve met with the Nayeb of Hefazat-e-Islam, visited the Hathazari Madrasa, held discussions with the Pir of Sharsina, and talked with senior leaders from the Aliya line of madrasas.”
“Our goal,” he added, “is to bring together all communities of Bangladesh into an inclusive, unified, and coordinated national structure—one free of division.”
