History

edit

Sayed Bahadur Shah Mujaddedi is the president of the party, and Abul Bashar Mohammad Zainul Abedin (Zubaer) its secretary.[1][3]

In December 2006, the party aligned itself with the Awami League-led 'Grand Alliance'.[4][5]

The party is associated with the student group Islami Chattrasena.
