According to unnamed party insiders there is a rift between the young and senior leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and the rift has widened further over renaming the party and apologising to the nation for its role during the 1971 Liberation War, reports Daily Star on February 15. Many of the party leaders born after the country's independence want the party to apologise to the nation for its anti-liberation role in 1971 and rebrand it as a pro-Bangladesh party with a new name. But the party's senior leaders, who are in its highest policy-making body Majlish-e-Shura, stand firm on their pre-1971 principles, arguing that forgoing the existing ideology and adopting a new name would be the final nail in the party's coffin.
