AL doesn’t have ethical grounds to do politics: Jamaat Ameer
Stating that good people do not flee, Dr Shafiqur Rahman said Sheikh Hasina and her party men had received their dues on 5 August
The Awami League, as a political party, does not have the ethical grounds to do politics in Bangladesh as it does not have the image to ask for votes from the people after fighting against the nation, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman said today (28 October).
"How can they do politics in this country again? They don't have the image to ask for votes. They don't have the ethical grounds," he said at a discussion and doa mahfil held by Jamaat's Dhaka City South unit at the capital's Engineers' Institution to mark the AL crackdown on Jamaat during 2006 protests.
"AL had turned the country into hell. Seeking an apology for their past behaviour in 1996, they requested the people give them one more chance to serve the country. People had given them the chance, but AL misused it and killed numerous people during their terms," the Jamaat ameer said.

Mentioning the interim government probably won't be able to begin all the trials, the Jamaat ameer said they will at least have to initiate the process of the trials.
"The trials have to start from 28 October, when Awami League men killed innocent people," he added.
