Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman said on Sunday that the Awami League’s accomplices still in the country have been tasked with inciting instability whenever possible.
“We must not fall into their traps and all conspiracies must be thwarted to ensure the country’s stability and freedom from oppression,” he said.
The Jamaat ameer came up with the remarks while speaking at a council of Jamaat-e-Islami, as a chief guest, held at Eastern Jute Mills Workers Maidan in Khulna’s Khan Jahan Ali area on Sunday.
Criticising the AL-led government, he said, “Over the past 15 years, the Awami League turned the country into a prison. Anyone who dared to express differing views faced killings, abductions, and repression,” he said.
Mentioning that there is an existence of unprecedented communal harmony in Bangladesh, the Jamaat ameer said “We need an iron-like unity among all to address the national issue. This country belongs to everyone, not just one group. We have yet to overcome the burdens of the past fifteen years. The nation’s progress depends on collective effort and unity.”
He also urged all to come forward to contribute to building a dignified and self-reliant Bangladesh.
Accusing Awami League of destroying two key institutions–the armed forces and political organisations-the Jamaat ameer said, “They first killed 57 army personnel in the name of BDR mutiny and executed the top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami through trials. Though, the students and people of the country give a befitting reply of the torture through.”
