Jamaat ameer vows crackdown on bank looting, corruption if 11-party alliance wins
"Those who destroy the lives of innocent people by filing false cases will not be spared," he added.
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman today (6 February) warned that no one would be allowed to loot banks in Bangladesh if the 11-party alliance comes to power.
"Those who have stolen the country's money and smuggled it abroad, if Allah Almighty gives us the opportunity to govern the country, that money will be recovered and deposited in the state treasury, InshaAllah," he said while speaking at an election rally organised by the upazila Jamaat at Bauphal Public Ground in Patuakhali.
He said they would neither engage in corruption nor allow anyone else to do so. "There will be no place for corruption in Bangladesh, and it will be uprooted," he added.

Referring to case harassment, he said, "We detest litigation. Those who destroy the lives of innocent people by filing false cases will not be spared. If evidence is found, they will face strict punishment."
"Development will begin in the most deprived and oppressed areas. Recommendations from influential individuals will not work, and one's place of residence will not matter. People's rights will be ensured based on justice and merit," he added.
