Syed Najibul Bashar Maizbhandari ( Bengali: সৈয়দ নজিবুল বশর মাইজভাণ্ডারী) is the chairman of Bangladesh Tarikat Federation and former Member of Parliament of the Chittagong-2 constituency. [1]
Maizbhandari was born on 2 December 1959, to a Bengali Muslim family of Syeds belonging to the Maizbhandaria tariqah in Chittagong District, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). He completed his education up until he gained his Higher Secondary School Certificate. [2]
During the 1991 Bangladeshi general elections, Maizbhandari successfully won a seat in the Chittagong-4 constituency as an Awami League candidate. However, he later became affiliated with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. He represented them as a candidate for the same constituency in the 2001 Bangladeshi general election, but did not win a seat.
He left the Bangladesh Nationalist Party in 2005 because the party had formed an alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami, which Maizbhandari accuses of supporting terrorists who attack dargahs (Sufi shrines); Maizbhandari is the president of the Bangladesh Dargah Mazar Federation, an association of shrines. [3] In the same year, he founded the Bangladesh Tarikat Federation political party which had experienced its first elections in 2008 with 45 candidates but no seats won in parliament.
On 5 January 2014, Maizbhandari won a seat in the Chittagong-2 representing his party and managed to keep this seat again in the 2018 Bangladeshi general election. [4] He is the Chairman of Bangladesh Tarikat Federation, ailed of the Awami League. [5]
