Rangpur, May 15 -- e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has urged party leaders and activists to remain highly cautious in their dealings and conduct, saying the party is now widely seen as a potential contender for state power.

Speaking at a district, upazila and thana-level Ameer conference of the Rangpur-Dinajpur region held at Rangpur Model College auditorium on Friday afternoon, he said Jamaat-e-Islami was previously not considered a competitor for state power, but the perception has now changed.

"In the past, no one thought Jamaat would be a rival for power. They only thought of it as an effective political party that would survive," he said.
