Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman yesterday called for forging national unity among all to build discrimination-and corruption-free, youth-centric humane Bangladesh with the spirit of July revolution.
“Let us build a strong unity to build a discrimination-and corruption-free and humane Bangla-desh,” he told a view-exchange meeting with family members of martyrs at Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Centre in the capital.
The party’s Dhaka City North unit organized the meeting with its Ameer Mohammad Selim Uddin in the chair.
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed, Jamaat Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar and leaders of different political parties spoke on the occa-sion.
Dr Shafiqur Rahman said his party doesn’t believe in politics of vengeance or revenge rather it be-lieves in justice.
He demanded justice in all incidents of killing and repression since October 28, 2006 to August 5, 2024 under the existing laws.
The Jamaat Ameer also demanded inclusion of the history of the martyrs of this period in the text-books to allow the new generation to know the true history of struggle against fascism.
“Those who struggled against fascism didn’t do so for personal interest rather for the country,” he said.
He further demanded providing a government job to one person from each family of martyrs.
Dr Shafiqur urged the government to ensure proper treatment for those who were injured in the movement.
