In the parliamentary elections of Bangladesh, the public has finally awarded former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s party BNP with a resounding victory. Khaleda’s son Tariq Rahman will take oath as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh tomorrow i.e. on Saturday. This was the first election which was held without the Awami League. Bangladesh’s exiled writer Taslima Nasreen has reacted after the election results came out. On the defeat of Jamaat, he said that it was good that the Islamist Jihadi terrorist group lost in this election.
Taslima Nasreen wrote- I am not happy because BNP won…
Taslima Nasreen wrote, ‘I am happy in this election not because BNP won, but because the Islamist Jihadi terrorist organization lost. For the last one and a half years, he has shown a kind of dominance in the country’s politics, holding rallies with lakhs of supporters and indulging in violence day and night whenever he wants. They killed whoever they wanted, tortured them, set fire to the houses of Hindus, beat and burnt Hindus to death. Not a single woman was fielded as a candidate for votes.
He said, ‘The party which hates women so much insulted working women by calling them prostitutes. Spoke against women’s leadership. Women were pushed into the darkness of burqa and niqab. Women were considered slaves and sex slaves of men. Dreamed of implementing Sharia law against women. The public did not allow Jamaat-e-Islami to come to power. This is good news for now.
In this election, I am not happy because the BNP won, but because the Islamists–jihadi–terrorist group was defeated. Over the past year and a half, they displayed outrageous dominance, held rallies with hundreds of thousands of supporters, carried out mob violence day and night…

Taslima gave these suggestions to Tariq Rehman
Apart from this, he has given some suggestions to BNP party regarding bringing changes in the country. He appealed and wrote that the charter of July 1 should be cancelled. Liberalism should be promoted again in the Constitution. Official religion will have to be removed. Family laws based on religion will have to be abolished. To provide equality to women, a Uniform Civil Code should be implemented. Apart from this, he said that freedom of speech, human rights, protection of minority religions (Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, indigenous people) and safety of women will have to be ensured.
He said that madrassa based education will have to be ended. A secular and science-based education system will have to be strengthened. Universal education and healthcare for all must be strengthened.
Taslima said, ‘Respecting democracy, the ban on Awami League will have to be lifted. Such arrangements will have to be made so that its leaders can return from exile. Can join politics. It is not safe to keep the jihadi-backed Jamaat-e-Islami as the main opposition party.
He said that along with economic development, the gap between rich and poor will have to be reduced. Family and religious politics should not be encouraged. Also, during Sheikh Hasina’s government, bloggers were killed, due to which free-thinking people, who were afraid, took refuge abroad to save their lives. Such arrangements should be made for them, so that they can return home. Can work safely.
Liberation War statues should be rebuilt: Nasreen
Taslima Nasreen said that freedom of speech and freedom of the press should not be violated. All books, theater productions and films that are banned should be released. The statues commemorating the Liberation War should be rebuilt. The houses of Dhanmondi 32 should also be rebuilt. Hijab, burqa etc. should not be made mandatory for women in any government or private institutions. Burqa and niqab should be banned due to security reasons.
Apart from this he said that Jihadi terrorists should be arrested again. Hostile relations with India should end. Chinmoy Krishna Das should be released. All the members and supporters of Awami League as well as artists, writers and journalists who have been jailed should be released.
