Jamaat leader Shafiqul Islam Masud has warned that no political party can shield the Awami League from public outrage.

“The people will not allow the Awami League to create chaos after looting for 15 years and fleeing abroad. If law enforcement fails, the public will rise up, and the consequences for Awami League will be dire,” Masud said.

He urged the government to complete national elections in February under a PR-based system, with July’s accord providing legal grounds for justice.

Masud also blamed Awami affiliates at Bangladesh’s New York mission for enabling attacks on opposition leaders abroad. He demanded a ban on the Awami League and its 14-party allies, calling them “a threat to Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty.”
