Local Government, Rural Development, and Co-operatives Minister and BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said the people of Bangladesh do not want to see Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami in power, claiming that public sentiment remains firmly against the party.
“Jamaat-e-Islami opposed the independence, killed freedom fighters, and dishonoured mothers and sisters. That is why people of this country do not want them in power and will never bring them to power,” he said.
Fakhrul, also BNP Secretary General, made the remarks while addressing a reception after inspecting the progress of work to reopen the abandoned Thakurgaon Airport on Wednesday.
He said the BNP is not against reforms and has played an important role in the implementation of the “July Charter.”
