The trial of the genocide to be held in July-August, then the question of Awami League's participation in the elections, saying this Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman further said, Awami League is not a political party, they are a sundicate or murderers.

Stating that Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami was the most persecuted party by the Awami League, he said, they were banned four days after Jamaat-e-Islami had been banned.

The party chief said, since independence, the country has been intentionally divided. Many people have given their lives in the field of war. But the incident of sacrifice of Abu Sayeed is rare. Abu Sayeed is a great hero of freedom. We have to continue the fight for which the martyrs gave their lives in last July-August. Thousands of people are living with disabilities; they are now living martyrs.

He said, Bhola gas should go all over the country; but let it come to Barisal first. Another bridge should be constructed from Barisal to Bhola. I want to see the entire Barisal division including Bhola much developed. If Allah gives us a chance, we will try to fulfill all the demands of the people of Barisal. And if we are in the opposition seat, we will raise your demands.

Despite doing so much, it was not possible. They forgot that this land belongs to Allah. Those who have oppressed and tortured for 17 years have fled. The people of this country want assurances so that no more fascist forces can come to power in the country.
