Criticising the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the Jamaat ameer said, “On the one hand they talk about family cards, and on the other they lay hands on women. Even a mother would not be safe at their hands.”
Referring to alleged obstructions faced by Jamaat’s female activists during election campaigning, he said, “Who are you to obstruct our programmes? If there is a violation of the code of conduct, report it to the administration. Whatever punishment is imposed, we will accept it. But who gave you the right to lay hands on women? We will not tolerate any insult to our mothers.”
Calling for resistance against such obstacles, the Jamaat ameer said, “I call upon the youth—wherever obstacles arise, they must be resisted. We will not provoke anyone, but neither will we spare anyone.”
Addressing the administration, he said it must remain neutral and stand on the side of the people.
