Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has said the country will not tolerate any form of aggression or territorial infringement, stressing that not an inch of its land will be surrendered to anyone.

He warned India directly, saying, “We will not give an inch of Bangladesh’s land to anyone. We will not tolerate any aggression.”

The Jamaat leader was speaking as the chief guest at the Cumilla City Jamaat Workers’ Conference at the Town Hall ground on Friday morning.

Kazi Din Mohammad, ameer of Cumilla City Jamaat, presided over the conference.

“A fair election free from muscle power and reforms are needed, while elections must be held timely,” Shafiq said.

He also touched on the issue of the Pilkhana killings, where 57 military officials lost their lives.

He demanded a fair investigation into the killings, pointing out that no trial has yet to be held for those responsible.
