Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan, Central Assistant Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, said that the Awami League fled the country with its groups because of the looting of the country’s wealth through corruption and the inhuman oppression and genocide of the people for the past 15 years.
He said these things while addressing the chief guest at Jamaat-e-Islami’s workers rally at Dhanmondi North Police Station in the capital on Friday (October 11).
He said that the students did not agitate for them to leave the country. Just moved to relinquish power. Then the party which has been in power for the last 15 years and told people the story of the highway of development, why the party could not leave power for even a minute? Rafiqul Islam Khan said that there is only one reason for this, they have not taken the country on the highway of development but have created a mountain of wealth abroad through corruption and looting. They themselves know this and that’s why they left the power and fled the country. The oppression of Jamaat-e-Islami by the Awami League in the last 15 years cannot be overstated, but none of the Jamaat-e-Islami leaders had to flee the country and did not. Because the leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami did not loot people’s wealth and did not kill people. Jamaat-e-Islami’s political program is to ensure people’s rights. And human rights will be guaranteed only when the Islamic state is established. That is why we are saying that there is no alternative to establishing an Islamic state.
He also said that Jamaat-e-Islami believes that ideal people are needed to build an ideal state. Therefore, Jamaat-e-Islami has been working on making ideal people since its establishment. There are many ideal people under the shadow of Jamaat-e-Islami. Previously, the leaders and workers of Jamaat-e-Islami have proved their morals by serving as MPs, ministers, and chairman at various levels of the country and have been able to present themselves as ideal people. In the future, if Jamaat-e-Islami gets the responsibility of running the state, that trend will continue. Jamaat-e-Islami does not want power, it wants Islam to be established in the country. Only when Islam is established, Bangladesh will truly be a golden Bengal, the spirit of liberation war will be realized.
In the speech of the special guest Dr. Shafiqul Islam Masud said that if the people who lead the country do not change, the destiny of the country’s citizens will not change. If the ruler is a thief, murderer, hater of Islam like Sheikh Hasina, then the people of the country will never have peace, will not have the right to speak, will not have the opportunity to enjoy freedom. That’s why you can’t make a mistake in choosing a leader. He said to the workers of Jamaat-e-Islami present, the workers who worked under the orders of the leaders of Awami League, did the leaders think about those workers even once when they fled? didn’t think Because their politics is mine, only mine. But even after harassing, jailing and torturing many leaders including the top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami with false cases, none of the leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami ran away from the workers.
Dr. Masud said that Jamaat-e-Islami has completed the state reform program and is working to give the responsibility of running the state to the people’s government by holding quick elections. Pointing out that Awami League has taken away people’s right to vote, he said, Awami League does not believe in elections. That’s why they chose one-way polls in 2014, day polls in 2018, and dummy elections on January 7, 2024. Those who disenfranchise people, who do not believe in elections, have no right to participate in elections. The politics of Awami League is that they will not do what they say, and they will never say what they do.
He also said that Jamaat-e-Islami has played a leading role in the banking sector, education sector and health sector. And Sheikh Hasina looted and destroyed banks, insurance, hospitals, educational institutions created by Jamaat-e-Islami leaders. If people give Jamaat-e-Islami the great responsibility of running the country, all the institutions established by Jamaat-e-Islami leaders, including banks, insurance, hospitals, educational institutions, will be transformed into public welfare again.
