Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman claimed that after the 2001 elections, he had the opportunity to address the people of Kulaura for the first time in 24 years.

He stated that no one had falsely accused him, nor had any witness testified against him, including members of the Hindu community. He revealed that at the time, he was not even a member of Jamaat-e-Islami but was part of another organization, which he hesitates to name now. He lamented the persecution faced under the previous oppressive government, which led to the deaths of 11 senior leaders and the crippling of over 500 people.

He noted that the interim government, formed through student and public movements, has introduced reform initiatives and established a reform commission.
