Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman on Friday said the party would not allow anyone to engage in a conspiracy against Bangladesh.
“We want friends abroad, not lords – this friendship will be based on equality,” he said while addressing a conference of the party activists on the Nawab Siraj-Ud-Dowla Government College ground in Natore town.
“Bangladesh will hold its head high. We will not let anyone conspire against Bangladesh.”
Shafiqur said, “An equity-based Bangladesh will be built in future. But, we have to fight for it and only then we will be able to become citizens of a truly independent country.
“Our party wants people’s prayers, love, advice, and positive criticism to build an egalitarian Bangladesh.”
The Jamaat chief said, “We are a united nation and want respect. We dream of a Bangladesh where men and women will work regardless of their gender.
“Women will never be put out of work because of their gender. They will perform duties with the respect they deserve,” he added.
