Jamaat Ameer apologises for any mistakes since 1947

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman has said his party is offering an unconditional apology not only for its role in 1971, but also for any 'mistake' it has made since the Partition of India in 1947, reports bdnews24.com.
He clarified the party's current political stance during an exchange of views with journalists in New York on Wednesday evening local time, the first day of his weeklong visit to the United States.
"When ATM Azharul Islam sir was released from jail a few days ago, I said, 'Not only in 1971, but since 1947, if anyone has suffered any pain because of Jamaat-e-Islami, if anyone has suffered any harm, I unconditionally apologise to you on behalf of all individuals and organisation. Please forgive us,'" Shafiqur said.
"How can we say that we have not made a mistake even today? We are human beings, our organisation is an organisation for humans; 99 out of a hundred of our decisions are correct, one may be wrong. My nation may even suffer some loss because of that wrong decision. So, in that case, if any of my decisions causes loss to the nation, where is the problem in me apologising?" he said.
"Now after apologising, they say, 'If you apologise in this language, it won't work. You have to ask for it in that language.' … I apologised unconditionally, I didn't even give any conditions; then what else is left, I don't understand," he added.
After the political upheaval in Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islami first offered an unconditional apology on May 27.
