Frequent disruptive events preventing Bangladesh from achieving desired progress
Earlier yesterday, a five-member delegation of BNP met with Yunus at Jamuna
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday restored an appeal that challenged a High Court verdict scrapping the Jamaat-e-Islami’s registration with the Election Commission as a political party.
Jamaat-e-Islami will own up to crimes committed during the Liberation War if they are proven beyond doubt.
Bangladesh’s vicious cycle of political retribution stops with Jamaat-e-Islami, said its Ameer Shafiqur Rahman.
The ruling party should stop organising parallel programmes and fuelling confrontation.
The government’s decision to allow Jamaat-e-Islami back in active politics, instead of bringing it to book for its 1971 role, will be suicidal for the ruling Awami League and above all, the country, said freedom fighters, families of the martyrs and war crimes researchers.
Anti war crimes campaigners and rights activists have criticised the latest US human rights report on Bangladesh that advocated for the "freedom of assembly" of Jamaat-e-Islami – which strongly opposed the independence of Bangladesh and with the Pakistan army committed crimes against humanity during the Liberation War.
The ruling Awami League and the BNP have once again started rallying lesser and sometimes even completely unknown political parties to form alliances.
Jamaat expected the help of Saudi govt to stop war crimes trial multiple times while BNP chief Khaleda Zia asked for intervention to resolve political impasse. But Saudi Arabia did not respond to the requests, Prothom Alo reports quoting leaked diplomatic documents.

War criminal Mojaheed decides to see review of Supreme Court ruling that upheld his death penalty, his lawyers say.
Despite a 24-hour countrywide hartal enforced by Jamaat-e-Islami across the country, Dhaka city dwellers came out in streets and performed their daily jobs as usual today.
The ruling Awami League today hails the Supreme Court verdict upholding the death penalty of Jamaat’s Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed for war crimes charges while BNP, as usual, keep mum.
Now in hiding to avoid arrest, top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami are using different Internet-based messaging and telecommunications applications to communicate with party colleagues, according to the party insiders.
The International Crimes Tribunal cited several evidences in the death verdict it handed down to Ali Ahsan Mojaheed, the notorious al-Badr chief of 1971.
“I want them to be punished. My heart wants it.” This was possibly her only wish after she lost her husband during the Liberation War in 1971.
It was a phone call that gave words to a long endured pain and wait. Perhaps that is why Saif Imam Jami called back from a different time zone, taking time out of his busy office hours.
Appalled by the Supreme Court verdict against war criminal Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed, Jamaat-e-Islami calls a 24-hour hartal from tomorrow.
