The Bangladesh Minority Janata Party (BMJP) is seeking alliances for the upcoming election, with its chief, Sukriti Mandal, expressing a preference for Jamat-e-Islami over the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Mandal believes Jamat can better protect minority interests and is more likely to offer electoral support. This overture follows Jamat's recent efforts to present itself as a more inclusive party, including outreach to the Hindu community amidst concerns over minority safety.
