Sylhet, June 2 -- Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Tuesday claimed that the country is not in a "good condition" and accused the government of moving towards fascism.

Speaking as the chief guest at a civic gathering held at the District Shilpakala Academy auditorium in Sylhet, he said "1947 is our foundation, 1971 is our pride, and 2024 is our direction for change."

Shafiqur Rahman claimed that though Bangladesh has entered a post-July uprising democratic phase, the country and its people are not in a good condition.

He alleged that incidents such as child rape and murder, killings, theft, mugging, extortion, and terrorist activities have increased alarmingly.
