Jamaat argued that as the head of government, holding a joint press conference with one political party is ethically unjustifiable. It gives rise to concerns among the public regarding a free, fair, and credible election.
“Given the existence of many active political parties in Bangladesh, making political decisions through consultation with one particular party cannot be considered appropriate,” the statement continued. Jamaat called on the interim government to maintain neutrality and ensure a level playing field for all, while taking necessary steps regarding reforms and trials.
Additionally, the party urged the chief adviser to clarify his position in addressing the concerns regarding the government’s neutrality and the integrity of the upcoming election.
