Amir of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Shafiqur Rahman on Friday said that the interim government should make a roadmap through required reforms of administration and other institutions to hold a general election within a logical time through discussion with stakeholders.
鈥楶olitical Parties should do politics considering the country鈥檚 people鈥檚 expectations,鈥� he said while addressing a gathering at Rukon conference, organised by Khulna metropolitan Jamaat in Sonadanga of Khulna, as chief guest.
鈥楾hose, who commit genocide, have no right to do politics,鈥� he also gave hints to the Awami League.
The Jamaat leader expressed concern over the composition of the education reform commission, claiming that individuals, who did not acknowledge Islam, had been included in it.
He demanded the inclusion of Islamic scholars from both the Alia and Qawmi systems in the commission to maintain balance and integrity in the education sector.
Shafiqur Rahman also highlighted the need for justice regarding the 2009 Bangladesh Rifles mutiny, during which 57 army officers were killed.
He demanded that those responsible for this and other killings across the country be brought to justice.
He warned that failure to hold these individuals accountable could lead to the return of tyranny and the rise of a 鈥榯hird force鈥� in the nation鈥檚 politics.
Reflecting on the Awami League鈥檚 tenure, the Jamaat amir accused it of widespread corruption and oppression.
He claimed that no citizen was spared from 鈥榩lunder and injustice鈥� over the past 15 years, with the cries of thousands of victims reaching 鈥楢llah鈥檚 Throne鈥�.
Shafiqur connected these grievances to the July uprising, led by students and ordinary citizens, which he described as a people鈥檚 movement against the regime鈥檚 injustices.
Secretary general of Jamaat-e-Islami and former parliament member professor Mia Golam Parwar addressed the event as special guest with Khulna city unit Jamaat amir and central member of Mozlis-e-Shura professor Mahfuzur Rahman in chair.
Central executive Parishad member Md Mobarak Hussain, assistant director of Khulna region Jamaat-e-Islami Abul Kalam Azad addressed the programme while Khulna district Jamaat amir and central member of Mozlis-e-Shura Muhammad Emran Hossain delivered welcome speech.
Leaders and Rukun of Jamaat-Islami in all 10 districts of Khulna division attended the conference.
Later, Shafiqur Rahman exchanged views with local journalists, elite and the leaders of different professional bodies at Khulna Press Club.
