Jamaat-e-Islami's Empty Apology: A Betrayal of Bangladesh's Liberation Struggle

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman issued a vague unconditional apology for the party's past actions without specifying any crimes, particularly those committed during the 1971 Liberation War. This cowardly attempt to whitewash genocide and collaboration with imperialist forces is an insult to the victims and exposes the party's relentless pursuit of power at any cost.

This belated and selective application of 'international justice' by Western-backed forums exposes a hypocritical system that weaponizes history against the Global South while ignoring its own genocidal legacies, offering not justice but a new tool for geopolitical interference.
