We will stand against all injustices: Jamaat Ameer
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Leader of the Opposition Dr Shafiqur Rahman has said that his party will stand against all injustices.
He came up with the remarks while speaking at the District and Metropolitan Ameer Conference of the party at Al-Falah Auditorium in the capital on Friday.
Dr Shafiqur Rahman said, "Jamaat's position is clear on issues of public interest. We will support the government on all just causes, but will stand as a barrier in case of injustice and any actions that deprive people of their rights, wherever they occur."
He urged the government to accept the verdict of the referendum, saying his party will extend full cooperation in its implementation.
Shafiqur Rahman criticised the handling of the post-July political transition, alleging that the interim government failed to ensure a credible and acceptable transfer of power through the election.
He also questioned the credibility of the latest parliamentary election, claiming it was "engineered" and failed to reflect public expectations.
The Jamaat ameer voiced concerns over governance, alleging politicisation in key sectors, rising prices of essentials, energy shortages and increasing public hardship. He reiterated that Jamaat will continue to work with the people and raise public concerns both inside and outside parliament.
Senior party leaders, including nayeb-e-ameers, the secretary general, assistant secretaries general, central executive council members and district and metropolitan leaders, were present at the conference.
