Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, issued a statement on June 1, expressing gratitude to the Almighty Allah for the Supreme Court's Appellate Division order that restored the registration of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.

In the statement, he said: "On June 1, through a unanimous verdict by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has regained its registration. We express our heartfelt gratitude to the Almighty Allah — Alhamdulillah. After more than a decade of legal battles and struggles, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has finally regained its rightful status as a political party. This verdict marks the end of another chapter of oppression and persecution. We are satisfied with this judgment of the Appellate Division."

He further stated that Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami participated in national elections by abiding all procedures and regulations with the "scale" (Daripalla) symbol, both before and after the implementation of the ‘Registration of Political Parties Act- 2008’. In every participatory national election, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami had significant representation.

He added that on November 4, 2008, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami was duly registered with the Election Commission following all necessary procedures. However, a certain vested group filed a writ petition on January 25, 2009, at the High Court Division of the Bangladesh Supreme Court asking to cancel Jamaat-e-Islami’s registration. On August 1, 2013, the Honorable High Court Division canceled the party's registration through a split verdict. In response, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami filed an appeal with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court against the High Court’s order. Today, the Honorable Appellate Division, in a unanimous verdict, granted the appeal and ordered the restoration of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s registration. Once again, we express our gratitude to Almighty Allah — Alhamdulillah.

He also conveyed his heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all the respected lawyers, intellectuals, and well-wishers who supported them throughout the lengthy legal process in various ways.

He concluded by saying, “Today’s verdict has ensured justice and created an opportunity for the people to exercise their voting rights. We hope this judgment will bring a new dimension to the political landscape of Bangladesh, InshaAllah.”
