Razzak will always remain a “beloved friend” to the Jamaat, Secretary General Shafiqur Rahman said in a statement issued hours after the assistant secretary general tendered his resignation on Friday. “We are pained and hurt at his resignation. He also cited failure to reform party charter in a letter sent to chief Maqbul Ahmed from the UK. The resignation letter also stated that he had tried to reform Jamaat “from within” ever since he joined the party that had actively opposed the 1971 Liberation War. Remembering Razzaq’s contribution to the party “with due respect”, the Jamaat secretary general said, “We hope our friendly relations with him will continue.”
