Career

[edit]

Parwar was elected to parliament from Khulna-5 constituency as a candidate of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami in 2001.[3][4] He received 105,740 votes while his nearest rival, Narayan Chandra Chanda of the Awami League, received 101,192 votes.[5] In May 2004, he denied that Jamaat had any links with Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh and Bangla Bhai.[6] This was denied after Bangla Bhai ordered his followers to spread in Khulna and Bagerhat, which are viewed as areas with strong support for Jamaat.[6]

Parwar contested the 2008 general election from Khulna-5 as a candidate of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami but lost to Narayan Chandra Chanda of Awami League.[7] He received 105,312, while the winning candidate received 144,600 votes.[7] Detective Branch (DB) arrested Parwar in November 2012.[8] He was arrested over a clash between Jamaat sympathizers and Bangladesh Police in Motijheel.[8]

Parwar boycotted the 2014 election along with other major parties, resulting in other candidates winning the election uncontested.[9] In September 2015, he was detained again in September 2015, along with other leaders of Jamaat from Pallabi, with crude explosives.[10] He was arrested in October 2017 from Uttara, Dhaka along with other leaders of Jamaat, including Maqbul Ahmad and Shafiqur Rahman, by Detective Branch.[11]

Parwar contested the 2018 election from Khulna-5 as a candidate of the Jatiya Oikya Front.[12] He later announced a boycott of the election along with other Jamaat leaders, who were contesting the election using the paddy leaf symbol of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[12][13] They had alleged the election was rigged and unfair.[12] He received 32,959 votes, while the winning candidate, Narayan Chandra Chanda of the Awami League, received 231,717 votes.[14]

In September 2021, Parwar was detained by Bangladesh Police in an anti-terrorism case from the Bashundhara Residential Area.[15] He was arrested in April 2023 in an arson case dating from November 2018.[15] He was indicted in a arson case from 2012 in August 2023.[16]

Parwar was elected as the secretary general of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami in the party's 2020–2022 electoral session.[17] He attended a rally of Hindu supporters of Jamaat in Khulna in November 2024.[18]
