Sheikh Hasina had banned the Jamaat-e-Islami party last month for stoking violence through the student-led protests that culminated in her ouster. Jamaat was effectively banned from contesting elections by a 2013 court decision that revoked its registration as a political party.
Rehman stated that Jamaat-e-Islami desires India to be a “friend and play a responsible role in bilateral ties,” while also emphasising that his party acknowledges its responsibility to improve relations but insists that these ties must remain “non-interfering in each other’s internal issues.”
Earlier on August 22, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal trashed similar reports which claimed that flooding in Bangladesh was caused by the release of water from Tripura's Dumbur dam into the Gumti River.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a phone call from US President Joe Biden on Monday. The two leaders discussed a range of issues including the Ukraine conflict and the situation of minorities in Bangladesh.
The confrontation between Bangladesh student group and members of "Ansar" flared despite Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fleeing the country more than two weeks ago.
Jatiya Party chairman has criticised those who attribute Bangladesh's flood situation to India, calling it a misleading narrative. He argues that this perspective unfairly leverages existing anti-India sentiments to place unjust blame on New Delhi for a natural disaster.

The case involved the 'indiscriminate firing' of police on a 2013 rally organised by the Hefazat-e-Islam, resulting in over 30 deaths. Sheikh Hasina, who is already facing mass murder charges in the case, has been booked under multiple cases since her departure from Bangladesh on Aug 5.
The BNP, led by recently freed Khaleda Zia and a fierce opponent of Hasina's Awami League, said her "fascist rule" ruined Bangladesh's independence. Hasina faces several criminal charges back home, including mass murder in 2013.
The Congress leader was referring to the mob attack on Prime Minister's Palace in Bangladesh in which Sheikh Hasina had to flee the country after violent students' protests.
The application accused them of the "mass murder" during the rally at Shapla Chattar in Motijheel on May 5, 2013. The court recorded the plaintiff's statement and said it would pass an order on the issue later.
The development comes within eight days of the interim government taking charge following the resignation of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her fleeing to India on August 5.
