Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman has said the future Bangladesh will be built on justice and free from discrimination, ensuring people's right to express their opinions freely and enjoy their civil rights.
He said it while speaking at a members' conference (rukon) organised by Sylhet District Jamaat.
Shafiqur said, "We had been unjustly banned, and our leaders and activists subjected to inhumane torture. Even performing religious rituals had become difficult in a Muslim-majority country."
He said that through the July uprising, a new Bangladesh free from tyranny had emerged and urged all to work together to build the nation.
"This progress cannot be halted by creating divisions. If necessary, we must be prepared to make more sacrifices for the country and remain united against all forms of discrimination and injustice," he added.
He emphasised the importance of balancing emotions with conscience, saying, "We may not have control over everything, but we must strive for the truth with all our abilities. Moderate emotion is a big strength."
