Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar has accused the ruling BNP of misleading the nation by reviving a political issue that was resolved half a century ago. Speaking at a press conference at the National Press Club on Tuesday, he said the government and its party were creating confusion over a settled matter. During the event, Parwar also announced a month-long program marking the second anniversary of the July uprising.

Parwar questioned BNP’s past political decisions, including its alliances and appointments, and alleged that the party was attempting to return fascist forces to power. He criticized the BNP government for excluding key dissent notes from the July Charter and for misrepresenting the results of a national referendum. He also accused certain corporate-backed newspapers of acting as BNP mouthpieces and urged the media to uphold truth and responsibility.

Jamaat’s Assistant Secretary General Dr. Hamidur Rahman Azad added that if the government did not abandon what he called fascist behavior, the party would launch a renewed movement against it.
