Any political party may forge an electoral alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami if it agrees to three conditions, Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman said yesterday.

He said such parties have to refrain from corruption and from patronising corrupt individuals, ensure equal justice at all levels of society without interfering with the judicial process. They also have to commit to implementing all reform recommendations.

His comments came amid speculation that the National Citizen Party is increasingly tilting toward a seat-sharing arrangement with Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat is already part of an eight-party Islamist bloc that includes Islami Andolan Bangladesh.

While addressing a conference of Islami Chhatra Shibir in the capital, Jamaat’s student wing, he said Jamaat aims to build an education system that leaves no one unemployed.
