Jamaat's downfall imminent: Rashed Khan
BNP leader Rashed Khan on Friday said Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami would soon face political decline as an opposition party, adding that its own leaders and activists would be responsible for their downfall. In a post on his verified Facebook account, Rashed made the remarks while alleging that he is regularly subjected to abusive language for making what he described as "reasonable criticism."
As an example, he shared a screenshot in the same Facebook post.
Rashed Khan said some people believe that using abusive language against him and his family would force him to remain silent. He claimed that insults have become their primary tool to stop him from speaking, UNB reports.
He further said those engaged in such activities do not realise that a difficult outcome awaits them, adding that the bell was already ringing to signal their downfall.
According to Rashed, who switched to BNP from Nurul Huq Nur's Gono Odhikar Party just prior to the February election in order to avail the party's famed electoral symbol of paddy sheaf, Jamaat's shortcomings and incompetence are becoming visible in parliament. He also thinks the more its leaders speak, the more their mistakes and weaknesses will be exposed.
Rashed Khan also claimed that Jamaat would soon face what he termed a "harsh downfall" and alleged that the party's own "ignorant activists" would be responsible for it.
