Parliament Correspondent: The Leader of the Opposition and Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, on Friday accused the ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of pursuing a “deceptive strategy to destroy everything,” announcing that the opposition has lost all confidence in the government following a dramatic walkout from parliament.Speaking at a press conference at the parliament media center after a chaotic end to the legislative session, Dr. Shafiqur said the opposition withdrew to avoid falling into what he described as a “trap of deceit,” alleging that a prior political consensus on interim government ordinances had been violated.“We told them directly, ‘You have broken your promise. We have no faith in you,’” he said, outlining the sequence of events that led to the opposition’s first major protest in the 13th parliament.According to the opposition leader, a special parliamentary committee comprising members from both treasury and opposition benches had reviewed 133 interim government ordinances. A consensus had reportedly been reached to pass 98 of them without amendments. However, Dr. Shafiqur alleged that the ruling party finalized the committee’s report unilaterally, without holding a final joint, triggering a breakdown in trust.He further claimed that despite initial attempts by the government to sideline key ordinances, the opposition successfully pushed in the Business Advisory Committee to ensure that all 133 ordinances would be discussed. The opposition had even agreed to work extended hours, including a holiday session until midnight, to meet constitutional deadlines.“But what happened yesterday?” he asked. “Critical issues related to national security and citizens’ lives were ignored and placed on a list to lapse.”The controversy deepened over the passage of the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum Bill. Dr. Shafiqur said there had been unanimous agreement to pass the bill unchanged, as originally drafted in the ordinance. However, he alleged that a ruling party lawmaker unexpectedly introduced three amendments during the session, which were passed without prior notice or discussion.“This was a clear attempt to politicize the museum,” he said, adding that some government members argued openly that such an institution could not function without ruling party control.He also accused the Speaker of ignoring opposition Leader during the proceedings.In a strongly worded statement, Dr. Shafiqur alleged that the government deliberately allowed several importanceordinances—covering the Anti-Corruption Commission, Police Reform Commission, and enforced disappearances—to expire.“These institutions were central to establishing authoritarian rule and enabling widespread abuses,” he said. “They are allowing reforms to lapse while pushing forward only those measures that consolidate power.”Questioning the legitimacy of the February election, the Jamaat leader cited remarks by both a former interim government adviser and a current state minister, alleging that the outcome had been predetermined.“If decisions were made elsewhere, then what kind of election was this?” he asked. “It suggests the nation was blackmailed and the result decided behind closed doors.”Dr. Shafiqur concluded by pledging to continue the movement outside parliament. “We did not get justice in parliament, but, God willing, we will achieve it with the people,” he said, adding that his party was prepared for “any sacrifice” to secure citizens’ rights.When asked about the government’s assurance that the lapsed ordinances would be reintroduced in the next session, he expressed skepticism. “We do not believe them. They have already broken their promises,” he said.The press conference was attended by Opposition Chief Whip Nahid Islam and other senior leaders from Jamaat-e-Islami and allied opposition parties.
