Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has been admitted to United Hospital in Dhaka after doctors detected blocks in his heart and recommended immediate bypass surgery, according to his personal assistant.

The decision was made on Wednesday, after a coronary angiogram detected three significant blocks in his heart, Nazrul Islam, the Jamaat chief's personal aide said.

The tests were conducted after Shafiqur collapsed while delivering a speech at the party’s national rally at Suhrawardy Udyan, reports bdnews24.com.

“Doctors have advised bypass surgery instead of angioplasty,” said Nazrul, adding that the exact date of the procedure has yet to be confirmed.

The Jamaat chief has requested prayers for his speedy recovery.

On Jul 19, while addressing the party’s supporters at the national rally in Suhrawardy Udyan, Shafiqur suddenly collapsed on stage.

He briefly regained consciousness and resumed his speech but collapsed again shortly afterwards.

He continued addressing the gathering while sitting with his legs spread out on the stage, and doctors attending to him.

Following the event, he was taken to Ibn Sina Hospital in Dhanmondi. Initial tests revealed no serious issues, and he was discharged the next day.​

The Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Abdullah Mohammad Taher has said the current law and order situation is still not conducive to a fair election.

On Sunday, he underscored the party’s call for a “level playing field” before voters go to the polls.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin, Taher reiterated Jamaat’s demand for reforms and the appointment of skilled, neutral officials across the administration.

Taher, who raised objections to the proposed redrawing of his Cumilla-11 constituency, said Jamaat wants the boundaries left “unchanged”.

The Election Commission has published a draft for all 300 constituencies, with Sunday being the last day for objections.

He said Jamaat has no fundamental objection to holding the national election in the first half of February, as announced by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus.

“We welcome the February date. We never dictated the schedule but suggested what would be best for the nation,” Taher said, adding the party prefers polls before Ramadan.

He noted that the past three elections had left people doubting whether voting would be fair.

“The government must take multiple steps so people trust this election will be correct and they can vote,” he said.

He called for implementing the National Consensus Commission’s recommendations with legal backing before the polls, in line with the government’s earlier pledges for reform, justice and elections.

Taher said the CEC had assured him of a good election and Jamaat would maintain its trust, but would watch how the “semi-final” phase before polling was handled.

“If conditions are made fit for a neutral, healthy election, we will have no objection,” he said.​
