Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami says parliament must function through Islamic laws
In a major announcement to derail secular credentials Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mujibur Rahman has said that only Islamic laws should be followed in the national parliament in future, and there should be no place for man-made ideas or systems. He made the remark at a public rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Saturday calling for meeting a seven-point demand, including 'justice' for the August 2024 mass killings, holding elections in a proportional representation system, and ensuring a level-playing field for all parties to ensure a free, fair, and peaceful vote. 'If Pakistan's 24 years and Bangladesh's 54 years are added together, it amounts to 78 years. During this entire period, Islam has not been established in the national parliament, and not a single law based on the Quran has been implemented, resulting in unrest, corruption, and widespread suffering for the people,' Rahman the rally, echoing Rahman, Jamaat executive council member ATM Azharul Islam said that if the fate of the 180 million people was to be changed, it could only be achieved by following the laws Allah.'Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is not a political party in the conventional sense, nor is it merely a religious organisation; it is a comprehensive Islamic movement with no affiliation outside Islam,' he said. Representatives from the Nationalist Citizen Party, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Hefazat-e-Islam, Khelafat Majlish, Gono Odhikar Parishad, and Nezam-e-Islam Party were present at the meeting, while no representative from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed told reporters that the party had not received any invitation from the the Bangladesh Railway operated four special trains on the Dhaka–Chattogram, Dhaka–Mymensingh, Dhaka–Rajshahi, and Dhaka–Sirajganj routes between Friday night and Sunday morning to transport local-level Jamaat leaders and supporters to Dhaka for the rally, officials said on Saturday.

Bangladesh police arrest 20 after deadly clashes in Gopalganj
GOPALGANJ: Bangladesh police confirmed the arrest of 20 individuals on Thursday, a day after violent clashes between supporters of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina and security forces left at least four dead. The unrest erupted in Hasina's hometown of Gopalganj when members of her Awami League party attempted to disrupt a rally by the National Citizens Party (NCP), a group largely composed of students who played a key role in her government's downfall last year. The aftermath of the clashes saw streets strewn with bricks, stones, and shattered glass. Authorities deployed over 1,500 police officers, soldiers, and border guards to enforce a curfew in the district. 'The law and order situation in Gopalganj is currently under control and remains peaceful,' police stated. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding president, hailed from Gopalganj, and his daughter, Hasina, had previously contested elections from the district. Jibitesh Biswas, director of Gopalganj District Hospital, reported that four individuals 'were brought in dead' following the violence. He added that gunfire occurred near the hospital, with at least 18 wounded admitted, three in critical condition. Ramjan Sheikh, an 18-year-old mason, succumbed to bullet wounds, according to his family, who accused the military of his death. 'They trampled on his chest... We rushed to the hospital only to find his lifeless body soaked in blood,' said Mohammed Kalim Munshi, Ramjan's uncle. The military denied wrongdoing, stating soldiers acted in self-defense after the crowd grew aggressive, hurling Molotov cocktails and bricks. A local resident, speaking anonymously, criticized the NCP for allegedly disrespecting Rahman, saying the town would not tolerate such behavior. Meanwhile, human rights group Ain o Salish Kendra condemned the use of excessive force, calling it a violation of human rights and the constitution. Interim leader Muhammad Yunus labeled the disruption of the NCP rally as 'a shameful violation of their fundamental rights.' - AFP

A day after Gopalganj clashes, India reiterates call for Bangladesh election ‘with everybody in its fold'
NEW DELHI India on Thursday (July 17, 2025) reiterated that the next election of Bangladesh should be 'inclusive' and have 'everybody in its fold'. The official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs commented on the election a day after student leaders of the interim government-backed National Citizens Party (NCP) clashed with cadres of the Awami League in the latter's stronghold of Gopalganj, which houses the memorial of Bangladesh's founder, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. 'On elections in Bangladesh, you know our point of view. We have said that as a democracy we would welcome holding of elections, that is inclusive and includes everybody in its fold,' said official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. The clashes in Gopalganj occurred after NCP leaders arrived outside the memorial of Sheikh Mujib, which is guarded by Awami League activists. On May 10, the interim government banned political activities by the Awami League. Earlier, the student wing of the Awami League, Chhatra League, was banned in October 2024. Chief Adviser Prof. Mohammed Yunus, in his Eid speech delivered on June 6, said that elections in Bangladesh would be held in April 2026, stating, 'This election would witness participation of the largest number of people and political parties.' The clash in Gopalganj has demonstrated that, despite the ban, the Awami League has remained active on the ground, especially in its traditional strongholds. The violence and subsequent police firing claimed at least four lives, with both sides giving conflicting reports. In a press statement, the interim government announced that a committee has been formed to investigate the violence in Gopalganj. Sources in the Awami League countered the interim government by circulating an audio statement purportedly by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in which she condemned the interim government and accused the NCP of extortion and violence.
