Parwar: People don’t like blame games among politicians

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar said on Wednesday that the people of the country do not appreciate blame games among politicians.
“People do not like politicians engaging in blame games. Some parties are now seen opposing Jamaat. Before criticising Jamaat, one should remember its contributions,” he said while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion meeting in the capital on the occasion of the Independence and National Day, organised by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Dhaka South City unit.
He further stated that when Jamaat is aligned with a particular political party, it is considered an ally, but when it is not, it is branded as bad.

Golam Parwar asserted that the people of this country are aware of which parties and which leaders’ families were against independence. “Today, those who speak in the language of Awami fascism

have made those who opposed independence into MPs, ministers, and even the president.”
He also pointed out that despite many Jamaat-Shibir leaders and activists being killed during the tenure of a particular political party, Jamaat set aside its grievances and joined the movement against the “fascist Awami League” in the national interest.
The Jamaat secretary general went on to say that Bangladesh did not achieve true independence in 1971, but rather the mass uprising of 2024 brought the “second liberation” for the country.
“To those who claim to uphold the spirit of the Liberation War, I would say that you had actually made agreements to sell the country to Delhi for political interests. True independence was not achieved,” the Jamaat leader said as quoted by BBC Bangla.
“Millions of people in Bangladesh have declared the 2024 mass uprising as our second independence,” he added.
The Jamaat leader urged all political parties to set aside their differences and build national unity for the greater good of the country. “There may be differences of opinion, but for the sake of the country and the nation, we must stand united.”
Outlining Jamaat’s stance on elections, he said the party is prepared to participate in the polls only when an interim government oversees them, following necessary state reforms and the adjudication of the genocide.
He further emphasised that Jamaat does not seek an election in name only but insists that elections must be free, fair, and impartial.
