Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is not in favour of banning any political organisation, including its rivals, party’s Secretary General Professor Mia Golam Parwar said today (22 November).
Speaking at a member (Rukon) conference at Dr Shaheed Samnuzzhoha Park in Meherpur, he reiterated that Jamaat believes in the democratic process and dialogue with all political parties, including the BNP and Islamic parties.
Commenting on the issue of banning political organisations, Parwar mentioned that Jamaat was banned four days before 5 August. However, the Awami League and Chhatra League couldn’t survive even four days after that. Due to widespread public outrage, Sheikh Hasina and her family were forced to flee the country.
He remarked, “The people will decide whether Awami League can contest the elections.”
The Jamaat leader also said that Sheikh Hasina will be brought to justice through legal process and punishment will be implemented.
Parwar said that elections should be held at a reasonable time after national reforms. He believes that elections can only be held once an environment for fair elections is created, following reforms of the Election Commission, police administration, and the executive department.
Among others, Jamaat Central Council Member Mubarak Hossain, District Ameer Maulana Tajuddin Khan, several central and district-level leaders, were also present.
