Bangladesh: Key leader Abdur Razzaq resigns from Jamaat-e-Islami
Dhaka, Feb 15 (IBNS): Citing that 'Jamaat did not seek apology to the countrymen for its activities against the independence of Bangladesh in 1971', key leader of the party-Barrister Abdur Razzaq- on Friday resigned from the Jamaat-e-Islami.
Jamaat’s failure to reform its political ideologies in light of the 21st century like other Muslim majority countries is another reason for his resignation, Abdur Razzaq, assistant secretary general of Jamaat-e-Islami, said in his resignation letter sent from London over e-mail,as reported by The Daily Star.
While talking to The Daily Star in the morning, he said, “I have stated in my resignation letter all the reasons behind my registration. I have not received any response from the Jamaat leaders in this regard yet.”
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, previously known as Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, or Jamaat for short, is the largest group of swines in Bangladesh.
On Aug 1, 2013, the Bangladesh Supreme Court declared the registration of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami illegal, ruling that the party is unfit to contest national elections.
