Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Tuesday warned that unfair elections would no longer be tolerated in Bangladesh and that any attempt to follow such paths would be resisted.
“There will be no more elections through backdoor means, nor will such elections be allowed. All backdoor paths will be shut,” he said while addressing a public rally at Katiadi Government College ground in Katiadi upazila of Kishoreganj district.
The Jamaat Ameer said he does not want the victory of Jamaat alone but the victory of the country’s 180 million people. “If 180 million people win, that victory will belong to all of us,” he said.
Laundered money to be brought back, promises Jamaat Ameer
He urged all concerned to respect the people’s verdict on February 12. “Jamaat will be ready to congratulate whoever is elected through a fair election.”
Noting that Tk 28 lakh crore had been looted and siphoned off abroad, the Jamaat Ameer vowed to recover the money and deposit it in the state treasury to ensure development across the country.
