He said this in his speech as chief guest at a conference organized at the GEC Convention Hall in Chattogram on Tuesday (October 20) morning.

Referring to the July mass uprising, he said that students and the public did not shed blood for looters and extortionists. The people will by no means accept looting and extortion. In the future, every crime will have to be accounted for. Recounting the torture carried out on party leaders and activists over the past 17 years, Dr. Shafiq said that the top 12 leaders were killed through slander, and numerous people gave their lives or became disabled.

Although there was dissatisfaction over the results of the last election, it was accepted for the greater interest, said the Jamaat Ameer, adding that this does not mean the same situation will be accepted in the future either. At that time, he called upon members of Chhatra Shibir and Jamaat-e-Islami to work as lifelong activists of the organization.
