He also thanked Kamal Hossain for admitting his ‘mistake’ of standing by Jamaat-e-Islami in the election. Before the 11th national election, Kamal Hossain, president of Gono Forum, formed the Jatiya Oikya Front alliance with the BNP as its major ally. Candidates from the Oikya Front and the BNP’s old ally Jamaat-e-Islami had contested the election under the BNP’s paddy sheaf symbol. Former Awami League leader Kamal Hossain had mentioned his ideological rift with the Jamaat-e-Islami when he created the alliance. I think it was a mistake too.”“I believe through this confession they will leave Jamaat-e-Islami and if the BNP does not leave Jamaat-e-Islami, I hope Kamal Hossain will take a final decision,” said Hasan Mahmud.
