Dhaka, Oct 22 (V7N) — National Citizen Party (NCP) Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary has said that there is no possibility of Jamaat-e-Islami returning to power in Bangladesh, describing the party’s ideology and past actions as fundamentally opposed to the country’s independence, territorial integrity, and national spirit.

In a statement posted on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday evening, Patwary wrote, “There is no question of Jamaat coming to state power. Their political philosophy and historical behavior contradict the very foundation of Bangladesh’s independence and identity. Every time they tried to return to the stage of history, the people’s collective voice rose in rejection. This country cannot be plunged into darkness again.”

He emphasized that Bangladesh belongs to justice, humanity, and solidarity, where every citizen has the right to freedom of speech. “But this freedom cannot be a shield for conspiracy,” he said. “Attempts to infiltrate the administration in disguise, to divide society, or to seize power in the name of religion will never succeed again on this soil.”

Patwary further stated that people of all faiths and communities — including Qawmi scholars, Sunni Muslims, Hindus, youth, and progressive citizens — are now united by a shared commitment to peace, harmony, and humanity. “This is the land where the blood of martyrs is mixed with the soil, where the call for liberation once echoed across the sky. Divisive politics will never find space in this Bangladesh,” he wrote.

He also underscored a collective duty not only to resist but to protect. “We are responsible for safeguarding Bangladesh’s sovereignty, the honor of Islam, and the dignity of our scholars and religious leaders,” Patwary said.

Concluding his message, he called for politics of humanity over hatred. “We seek politics rooted in compassion, not vengeance. For those who have strayed into the wrong path, our doors remain open — so they may return to the Bangladesh of democracy, justice, and free thought,” he wrote. “This nation is not built on enmity; it is built on coexistence, mutual respect, and the call of a new future.”

The statement has drawn attention across political and social circles, as it reflects a broader national sentiment rejecting extremist ideologies and emphasizing unity and inclusivity in Bangladesh’s political landscape.
