During the agreement with America, the interim government did not tell anything to the Jamaat. Shafiqur Rahman. He said, “I am still saying with great responsibility that not a single person from the then government has spoken to us on this issue. This is our position.
He said this to mediapersons before attending the Sudhi rally organized by Mahanagar Jamaat at Rangpur Shilpakala Academy on Friday (May 15) afternoon. Regarding the Teesta Master Plan, Shafiqur Rahman said, We congratulate the initiative of Padma Barrage. But it is not in exchange for Teesta.
In Teesta’s place, Teesta must pay her dues and execute this grand plan. We don’t want anything else. I have said the same thing inside the Parliament, you have seen. Our position is very clear on this.
Referring to the local elections, he said, we are an election-oriented party. We want a change in the leadership of this country in a democratic manner. So we participated in all the elections. This time also we will participate in all levels of local government elections. He said, two by-elections were held after the national elections.One in Sherpur, another in Bogra. You have seen all the paintings, works and factories there. We are worried about whether there will be a fair election or not. But we will request the people to be alert and vocal once again for their rights. One thing to remember is that the medicine of all diseases is the mandate of the people. When the people wake up, everything will be fine.
