Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami won’t give any reaction over the army chief’s statement right now. Jamaat secretary general Mia Golam Parwar said they would ‘take some time’ before disclosing their stance in this regard.
Speaking to Prothom Alo in this regard, Mia Golam Parwar said, “He said it from a consideration. We don’t want to say anything in this regard right now. We have been saying from the start that a certain set of reforms are needed to ensure an acceptable election. After that, everyone will realise that a conducive environment for the election is prevailing. Therefore, we have been talking about giving the interim government some time. It will be reasonable, not too long or short.”
