The two parties also agreed on swift trials for corrupt individuals, criminals, and money launderers among other issues.
Besides, they decided to create national consensus on upholding human rights, including the right to vote, and on elections promptly following minimal necessary reforms.
Other resolutions included measures to curb the rising prices of essential goods, ensure the rights of disadvantaged people, and normalise law and order.
They resolved to unite all forces against the "fascist" Awami League, avoid internal conflicts, and work politically to prevent similar "fascist" entities from gaining power in the future.
They also called for the quick removal of fascist accomplices and agreed not to take decisions or make statements opposing Islamic Shariah law.
Earlier, on 21 January, Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman and Rezaul Karim had a meeting at the Charmonai Darbar Sharif in Barishal.
The next day, Fakhrul and BNP Standing Committee Member Nazrul Islam Khan met with a 9-member delegation of Khelafat Majlish, including its Ameer Moulana Abdul Basit Azad.
