The Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan has congratulated Islami Chhatra Shibir on its landslide victory in the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) elections.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page on Wednesday, the Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, through its Amir Hafiz Naeem Ur Rehman, called the victory a “new history in Bangladesh”.
The post, written in Urdu, read: “A new history has been made in Bangladesh. All praise is for God!”
The statement described Islami Chhatra Shibir as the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, naming it as “Islami Jamiat Talaba”.
It hailed the Shibir panel's massive success in the DUCSU elections as a “first in Bangladesh’s history”.
The post was later deleted from Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan’s Facebook page.
The post also highlighted the presence of “Indian-aligned forces” backing other panels, underlining Shibir’s victory under the circumstances as “significant”.
The Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan expressed hope that the victory would lead to a continued struggle for students' and youth rights, while “bringing relief to Bangladesh’s people from conspiracies of India”.
“InshaAllah, this success will bring relief to the people of Bangladesh from the conspiracies of India along with the struggle for the rights of the student and youth…,” it wrote.
Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan also praised Bangladesh’s interim government for organising the election in a peaceful environment.
