Jamaat Ameer Condemns Bangladesh Bank Unrest as ‘Mob Culture’
In a strong reaction posted on his verified Facebook page on Thursday morning, February 26, 2026, he labeled the harassment of the central bank's Governor and Advisor as unfortunate and unacceptable. The statement follows a day of high tension at the central bank on Wednesday, during which a group of officials and employees staged a protest that led to the abrupt departure of the Governor. Dr. Rahman noted that the country’s economy is already in a fragile state due to the legacy of fascism, corruption, and market syndicates, and he warned that if such chaos is allowed to infiltrate key state institutions, the remaining pillars of the economy will inevitably collapse.
Dr. Rahman cautioned that orchestrating mobs to harass dedicated and patriotic officials creates a major obstacle to building a democratic and discrimination-free Bangladesh. He urged the government to stop such lawlessness immediately and ensure that appointments to critical state positions are based on merit and patriotism rather than political loyalty. Furthermore, he called upon citizens across all levels of society to stand united against this rising trend of anarchic mob justice. Following the unrest, the government has moved to stabilize the situation, though the incident has sparked a heated debate regarding the security of high-ranking officials and the independence of the financial sector under the new administration.
