The BNP has declined to make any comment over the challenge of Ghulam Azam’s son Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, who expressed annoyance over the silence of BNP after death of his father and threw an ‘open challenge’ that the BNP could never form government without support of Jamaat-e-Islami.
BNP Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday said that they don’t wish to comment on the matter, as Azmi doesn’t represent the Jamaat-e-Islami. “It is his personal opinion. So, we won’t take it into consideration,” he said when asked about his party’s reaction.
Posing the challenge, Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, who was a Brigadier General of the Army, on Wednesday in his Facebook status said the BNP’s ‘silence’ after the death of Ghulam Azam was “unexpected and unacceptable”. He also expressed disappointment at the Jamaat-e-Islami ally’s ‘ungratefulness’.
Ghulam Azam, who was convicted for 90 years imprisonment for crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971, died on October 23. The BNP kept silent and none of its leaders, except Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, attended his mourning.
Mirza Fakhrul said that they were unaware whether Ghulam Azam’s son is a member of Jamaat-e-Islami. “We have an alliance with the
Jamaat-e-Islami to organise a movement to establish a people’s government through an election held under a neutral government,” he said. He also said that the Jamaat-e-Islami had not commented on the matter. So, they are not prepared to say anything about Azmi’s comment.
Meanwhile, Abdullahil Amaan Azmi expressed apology for his status, saying that it was his personal opinion. “I am not involved with the politics of Jamaat-e-Islami. If my status hurts anyone, I am sorry,” he said these in a TV talk-show on Thursday night.
In the talkshow, he claimed that his father was not a war criminal. Once the history will reveal the truth, he hoped.
