Political parties must know that trust in parliamentary democracy is earned, not given

A group of former leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir yesterday launched a new political initiative named Jana Aakangkhar Bangladesh.

A number of former leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami have taken an initiative to form a political party that will not be based on religion.

A resolution has been placed at United States’ House of Representatives calling BNP to cut ties with its key ally Jamaat-e-Islami.

The Jamaat-e-Islami has formed a five-member high-powered committee to devise a strategy for emerging as a new political party with a different name, say its insiders.

A local leader of Jamaat resigns from the party citing Jamaat as anti-liberation war element.

The rift between the young and senior leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami has widened further over renaming the party and apologising to the nation for its role during the Liberation War, say party insiders.

The government has nothing to do about banning the Jamaat-e-Islami right now as a case in this regard is pending before a court, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said yesterday.
