Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has said the party, staying committed to "justice and truth," will not bow to any "evil force" and will build strong protest and resistance wherever attacks occur.
Addressing party colleagues in a post from his verified Facebook page at 6:50am today (15 February), the Jamaat chief enquired about their condition in the post-election environment.
Shafiqur alleged that reports are coming in from different parts of the country of unruly behaviour by members of a "particular political party," including attacks, vandalism, arson and even harassment of women over voting for the Jamaat-led 11-party alliance.
