"Minus one" theory
It was a very disgraceful scene to watch and listen to the Secretary General of the Jamaat on satellite TV. It is not only outrageous but also full of lies what has been uttered by the Jamaat leader. I can guarantee that the Jamaat is politically bankrupt and will never have the guts to run any election in Bangladesh with their own manifesto, because they know that the people of Bangladesh will not vote them to power based on their own manifesto, despite the fact that the people of Bangladesh are God-fearing and religious. They have many times discarded politics of religion and will do the same in the future also.
It is unfortunate that the history is now being distorted by a vested group, including the spokesperson of the Jamaat. I was in my middle age when the independence movement of our country was at the peak. We can never forget the ant-liberation role of al-Badr and al-Shams, including killings of our patriots, organised and run by the Jamaat leaders with the patronage and support of the ant-liberation forces. The history is well known to all of us. I am confident that our memories of those dark days cannot be erased by any kind of fabrication of history. I hope the new textbook being printed would unveil the true history of our liberation war and the new generation would learn the correct history and not " political history".
Based on my firm conviction that the people of Bangladesh do not support religion based politics, I want to promote the idea of " minus-one" theory i.e. politics minus religion. To achieve a positive result, we should discourage actively any form of patronage and lobbying from inside and outside to support and strengthen the Jamaat. Patronage and lobbying are the only source of Jamaat to sustain itself politically. Keep watch on them!
