Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Secretary General and former MP Professor Mia Golam Parwar issued a statement on September 22, 2024 calling for including at least two prominent religious scholars in the National Textbook Revision Committee, constituted by the Ministry of Education.

In the statement, he said, "Recently, the National Textbook Revision Committee has been announced through a public gazette issued by the Ministry of Education. We have noticed that no religious scholar has been included in the National Textbook Revision Committee. Although Bangladesh is a Muslim-majority country where 90 percent of people are Muslims; painfully no Islamic thinker or learned scholar has been included in this important and sensitive committee. The previous anti-Islamic government included many anti-Islamic cultural elements in the textbooks during its nearly 17-year rule, which is in no way acceptable to the people of Bangladesh.

In the statement, he further said that many anti-Muslim and anti-atheist issues have been included in the national textbook as part of a far-reaching conspiracy. At various times, the country's learned scholars and Islamic thinkers have expressed their concerns in this regard and protested such ill efforts through speeches and statements. But the fascist government paid no heed to their recommendations.

On behalf of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, we call for including at least two learned scholars, particularly one Aliya and one educated scholar from the Kawmi background, in the National Textbook Revision Committee."
