Fazlur Rahman: Dr. Yunus’s nightly contact with Jamaat

Staff Correspondent

Former MP Fazlur Rahman has commented that the National Citizens Party (NCP) is Dr. Yunus’ political party.

He said, “I do not believe that there will be fair and impartial elections under Dr. Yunus. Dr. Yunus has close ties with his party, NCP, and Jamaat. Practically, Jamaat is running the country.”

Fazlur Rahman said these things in an exclusive interview given to a media outlet. His post (advisor to the chairperson) was recently suspended from BNP for three months.

Regarding the arrest of freedom fighter and former minister Latif Siddiqui, he said, “I have no words to condemn this. He is now 87 years old, and his contribution to the liberation war is immense. He has been humiliated by being arrested.”

Fazlur Rahman expressed concern about the current position of BNP and said that if BNP does not understand this situation, then more sorrow awaits the country.

He called on the BNP to condemn the detentions of Latif Siddiqui and others and to build political resistance, saying, “If there is no political resistance, this will come back to haunt the BNP one day.”

Regarding the temporary suspension from BNP, Fazlur Rahman said, “I am still BNP. After three months, they can take me and I can go. So this is BNP, I am in BNP.”

He also commented that there will be no fair elections under the interim government’s chief advisor, Dr. Yunus.

Jamaat is running the country, why do you have this feeling? In response to the question, Fazlur Rahman said, they have occupied all the banks. They have occupied all the economy including Islamic banks. They are occupying the stock market. Everyone knows that everything is changing in various places, from SP-DC to secretary, at their fingertips. They (Jamaat) are occupying the country. The sooner my party BNP understands this, the better.
