Resist Jamaat politics

Jamaat is not an Islamic party and does not want to establish Islam in the country. It misguides people in the name of Islam only to go to power, he told a public meeting at Shahid Abdur Razzak Park in the town on Saturday. Its activists are also engaged in violence, he alleged.

Being partner in the ruling coalition, it is now consolidating its position in the administration under the shelter of BNP. BNP will be responsible for all "misdeeds" of Jamaat, he said.
