Bangladesh Polls: Jamaat Chief Rejects 'Minority' Tag, Promises Equal Rights For All Citizens

Описание: In an exclusive interview with India Today ahead of the high-stakes Bangladesh elections, the chief of Jamaat-e-Islami addressed concerns regarding the safety of the Hindu community and the party's vision for governance. The speaker stated, 'Just up on the basis of religion, it's a bad practice because nation become divided,' emphasizing that the party does not recognize the 'minority' tag and views everyone as a Bangladeshi citizen. Despite the party's commitment to Islamic principles and Sharia law, the leader promised 'equal right and equal security' for all, including the Hindu community who may feel anxious about a potential change in power. The interview comes at a critical juncture as the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami was recently lifted, positioning them as a principal contender alongside the BNP. While the leader harped on national unity and mutual respect with neighbouring countries, concerns remain regarding reported atrocities against minorities over the past year and how Sharia-based governance would impact religious and gender rights in practice.
