Jamait-E-Islami leader and Member of Parliament, Delawar Hossain Sayeedi declared "Except for the religious icons of the non-Muslims, all sculptures of the nation would be broken. He added that "The courts would not regulate the fatwas(Islamic religious edicts), rather the fatwas would regulate the courts." Without directly mentioning the Awami League by name, he said "After three elections, India's agents would not even see the parliament any more.

He made these statements last friday's in a grand public meeting held in the Narayanganja's Mogulpara area. In this event, the chief guest was Bangladesh's Textile Minister, Abdul Motin Chowdhuri, Special guests were junior Industry Minister, Professor Rezaul Karim, Members of Parliament, Abul Kalam and Muhammad Giasuddin, and Bangladesh National Party leader Abdul Majid, all of whom delivered speeches.

Sayeedi commented "The Baitul Mokarram Khatib's statement on the U.S. Attacks is the statment of all Muslims. In protesting this statement, the progressives have made very offensive comments, however, these comments have no value for the people of Bangladesh. Four thousand Jews were employed in the twin towers (World Trade Center) in the U.S.A. Why none of them did not report for work on that day (Sept 11, 2001)? How did those videotaping the event knew about these attacks?, he fumed"

Regarding the arrest of noted literateur and journalist Shahriar Kabir, he stated "He (Shariar Kabir) has attempted to destroy the communal harmony of the country. Our country never had any communal riots."

Sayeedi stated "for eight years I was not permitted to come to Narayanganja. Those who put up signboards banning us from here, have themselves been banned now.
