Tariq Rahman’s BNP has got a bumper victory in the general elections of Bangladesh. BNP is now going to form the government in Bangladesh and Tariq Rahman will be the next Prime Minister of Bangladesh, but the Jamaat-e-Islami alliance led by Shafiqur Rahman is left far behind.
Jamaat-e-Islami has lost the elections in Bangladesh. Jamaat alliance seems to be getting around 70 seats. Somewhere behind the crushing defeat of Jamaat-e-Islami, which is considered close to Pakistan, its fanatic thinking is responsible. Jamaat-e-Islami is the same political party of Bangladesh, which opposed the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971.
Jamaat-e-Islami is a supporter of Pakistan
Jamaat-e-Islami is the same party which Sheikh Hasina has banned several times on the charges of spreading fundamentalism. Now you must be wondering how the Jamaat finally lost in Bangladesh with 90% Muslim population? That too when Islamic rule has been the main election agenda of the Jamaat. The defeat of Jamaat in the election results of Bangladesh makes it clear that the people of Bangladesh have rejected the pro-Pakistan thinking. The people of Bangladesh once again did not want to allow Pakistan’s influence to be established in the country, hence Jamaat was defeated in the elections.
Bangladeshi people want to see India closer
Bangladeshi people always want to see India closer to them and not Pakistan. That is why the public did not allow the pro-Pakistan group to reach power. The people of Bangladesh also know that Jamaat always pushes the agenda of Pakistan. It can be said that the election results of Bangladesh have also given a crushing defeat to the hidden agenda of Pakistan. Both Bangladeshi youth and women seemed scared of the rules and regulations of the Jamaat. There was a fear in his mind that if Jamaat was successful in forming the government in Bangladesh, then Islamic laws would be implemented here.
Some women said that they were afraid that if the Jamaat had come, there would have been many restrictions on their freedom. The youth were worried that Jamaat could affect their development and further increase radicalization in the country. That is why a large number of youth and women voted for Bangladesh Nationalist Party against Jamaat.
Who did Hindu voters vote for?
The minority i.e. Hindu voters of Bangladesh voted for BNP in large numbers and rejected Jamaat. Many leaders of the Jamaat were seen raising questions on the worship method of Hindus. In such a situation, a strange fear regarding the Jamaat was visible among the Hindu voters. This is the reason why Hindu voters united and expressed confidence in Tariq Rehman. The Hindu population in Bangladesh is about 9 percent.
In the absence of Awami League, Sheikh Hasina’s supporters also voted for BNP, because Sheikh Hasina’s party was not in the electoral fray. Awami League supporters did not want to let Jamaat-e-Islami win the elections at any cost. It can be said that the situational vote for BNP was more against Jamaat than supporting BNP. A big supporter of Awami League, on the condition of anonymity, said that if BNP forms the government, future avenues will be open for Awami League, whereas this is not at all possible with Jamaat, because Jamaat is pro-Pakistan.
Hindu candidate of BNP won
Many big leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami lost their elections in the general elections of Bangladesh. Mian Ghulam Parwar, considered the second in command of Jamaat-e-Islami, also could not save his seat. Mian Ghulam Parwar lost the election from Khulna 5 parliamentary seat to Ali Lobi of BNP. From Dhaka 3, BNP’s Hindu candidate Goyeshwar Chandra Roy defeated Jamaat-e-Islami alliance’s Shaheenur Islam. Not only this, Jamaat’s Hindu candidate Krishna Nandi from Khulna 1 parliamentary seat also lost the election to BNP’s Muslim candidate. There are a good number of Hindu voters on this seat. The message of the defeat of Jamaat’s Hindu candidate in Khulna 1 is that the Hindu voters of Bangladesh cannot vote for Jamaat.
Due to the alliance with Jamaat, NCP, the party that emerged from the student movement among the people of Bangladesh, was also sidelined. Even though NCP President Nahid Islam won his election, many big faces of this party lost their elections. NCP’s Sarjis Islam also lost the election from Panchagarh 1 parliamentary seat. The people of Bangladesh have shown the mirror to the Jamaat that the politics of fanaticism and love for Pakistan is not acceptable in the country. Jamaat’s defeat is good news for India.
