Awami League is now irrelevant in Bangladesh, says Jamaat’s TaherAwami League has become completely irrelevant in Bangladesh’s politics following its ouster by a mass uprising last year, Jamaat-e-Islami deputy chief Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher has said. Speaking at the party’s national rally at Suhrawardy Udyan, Taher told supporters he would not list what Awami League had done, calling it a “people’s case”. He believes the ousted party has no route left into national politics, saying it has “lost” the public’s trust. Taher demanded the next election be held under a proportional representation system, saying it would prevent the capture of polling centres and eliminate the role of money in buying votes. He argued that such a system ensures transparency and accused reform opponents of lacking commitment to building a better Bangladesh.
