Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has sharply criticized the Bogura-6 and Sherpur-3 by-elections held under the current party government. In a Facebook post on Thursday afternoon, he said that the nation has now clearly seen the 'horrific form' of elections conducted under a partisan administration.
In his post, Dr. Rahman described the National Parliament as a 'sacred trust' and warned that those who enter it by overturning the people’s verdict through force could only harm the country and the nation. He emphasized that those who truly trust the people’s mandate never resort to coercion.
Commenting on the overall situation, the Jamaat leader said that the current state of elections under the party government is alarming for the democratic process in Bangladesh.
