Differences have emerged among those who led the revolution: Jamaat secy
Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Professor Mia Golam Parwar today said that there are growing differences among those who led the uprising.
He made this remark while speaking at a workers' conference held at Bhabanipur Muktijoddha College ground in Gazipur Sadar Upazila.

Some oppose reforms or suggest delaying them, while others demand immediate reforms. Some want elections before reforms, while others insist on reforms first. We will proceed with the necessary reforms to ensure a credible election. Those advocating for elections without reforms refer to the constitution," he said.
He also questioned, "Under what legal authority was Yunus permitted to enter the country and assume leadership? Under which constitutional framework? By what rules was the advisory council established, and under what law did Hasina take her oath of office?
"The constitution and the law reflect the aspirations of the people, serving as a written embodiment of their collective desires. For instance, when we fought for the caretaker government in the 1990s, it was not initially part of the constitution. However, it was established in response to public demand. Elections were held first, and the law followed thereafter."
He added, "Similarly, in the case of this interim government, both the government itself and its advisors can be deemed unconstitutional and illegal."
On the recent situation in the country, Mia Golam said, "While the work of nation-building is underway, a new conspiracy is also unfolding. There have been revolutions, judicial coups, and incidents of civil unrest, all aimed at destabilising the country. They want to create a scenario where Hindu brothers cannot live in peace unless Awami League is in power. However, the interim government has thwarted India's plot."
He also commented on the local law and order situation in Gazipur, saying, "Several mill owners in Gazipur have reported difficulties in operating their businesses. I call on the Gazipur Deputy Commissioner, Superintendent of Police, and Commissioner of Metropolitan Police to take immediate action against extortionists and thugs from any party trying to destabilize the economy."
He continued, "The murderous Awami League fascists are no longer visible in the field. Their 300 MPs and ministers are nowhere to be found. So, what is there to fear now? If they cannot be arrested, the people will believe that you are complicit in supporting the fascist culprits."
The conference was chaired by Jamaat's District Ameer Jahangir Alam, with Professor Mia Golam Parwar, the secretary general of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, as the chief guest. Prominent speakers included Professor Muhammad Izzat Ullah, a member of the Central Executive Council, Md Samiul Haque Farooqui, the central organising secretary, and Mohammad Khalilur Rahman Madani, a member of the Central Working Committee.
