US Seeks Ties With Jamaat-e-Islami Ahead of Bangladesh Election
A leader from a political group in Bangladesh named Jamaat-e-Islami spoke at a rally.
He said they want to make Bangladesh a better and fairer country.
They plan to follow a model called the Charter of Madinah, which ensures justice and equal rights for everyone, no matter their religion or background.
This is important because the US wants to be friends with this group as Bangladesh prepares for an election.
India might be watching this closely.

The Charter of Madinah will be followed to ensure justice and equal rights.
