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).

[2] During the 1991 Bangladeshi general elections, Maizbhandari successfully won a seat in the Chittagong-4 constituency as an Awami League candidate.

[citation needed] 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.
