Speaking about the meeting with the EU delegation, Shafiqur Rahman said that the EU representatives wanted to know Jamaat’s thinking on how different sections of society would be represented, how citizens’ safety would be ensured, and how the Rohingya crisis could be resolved.
They also asked what Jamaat’s commitments would be to the public in the first 100 days if elected, he added.
“We said that everything has already been framed. We will release each component as and when appropriate,” the Jamaat ameer stated.
He further said the EU representatives wanted to see an inclusive Bangladesh.
“We said that if Allah wills and if the people support us, we will build that inclusive Bangladesh. We will not exclude any party. We genuinely feel that, at least for the next five years, the country needs a national government to restore stability, revive the economy, establish the rule of law and eliminate corruption from society. If elected, we shall form that government.”
He added that Jamaat would expect two commitments from any party joining such a national government: they must not engage in corruption themselves, nor tolerate corruption by others; and, they must ensure equal justice for all, without political interference.
