Santhia, Pabna, May 11 (V7N) - Jamaat-e-Islami's Central Assistant Secretary General Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan stated that the people of Bangladesh would not permit the establishment of any more fascist regimes in the country.

He made these remarks as the chief guest at a discussion and prayer meeting held at Pabna's Santhia Government Degree College grounds on Sunday afternoon (May 12th) to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of former Jamaat Ameer Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami.

Khan further asserted, "Those who align with fascism, whatever they do, the people of Bangladesh will place them in the same category. The people of Bangladesh will not allow any more fascists to be established. We will not allow any more fascists to be established."

He also commented on the upcoming elections, saying, "Many are dreaming of coming to power through random elections. There will be no more vote-rigging in Bangladesh. Random elections will not be allowed. The interim government must hold local elections before the national elections. Before that, all genocides must be tried. All genocide perpetrators must be hanged. All officials, witnesses, and judges involved in all these killings, who were killed and martyred in the name of war crimes trials, must be tried."

The program was presided over by Barrister Nazibur Rahman Momen, son of Matiur Rahman Nizami. Other speakers included District Jamaat Ameer Professor Abu Taleb Mondal, Delwar Hossain Sayedee's son Shamim Sayedee, Maulana Abdus Sobhan's son Nessar Ahmed Nannu, Muhammad Kamaruzzaman's son Hasan Imam Wafi, Ali Ahsan Mujahid's son Ali Ahmed Mabrur, Abdul Kader Mollah's son Hasan Jamil, Mir Quasem Ali's son Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Quasem Arman, District Jamaat Nayeb Ameer Principal Iqbal Hossain, Secretary Maulana Abdur Gaffar Khan, Central Shura Member Abdul Baset Khan, Central Publicity Secretary of Chhatra Shibir Azizur Rahman Azad, and others.
