It is worth noting that the founding president of Bangladesh Justice Party, Barrister Syed Kamrul Islam Mohammad Salehuddin, directly participated in the anti-British movement, the language movement of 1952 and the anti-Ayub movement and was imprisoned several times.
He was exiled as a member of the National Council from the Faridpur-2 area in 1970, he was one of the organizers of the 1971 Liberation War. He was also a member of the Hono Parishad in 1972, and won the 1st National Parliament election as an independent candidate in 1973 against the Awami League Candidate. Syed Kamrul Islam, a vocal voice against Indian hegemony in parliament, officially started the party`s activities by establishing the Bangladesh Justice Party in 1981.
The previous three governments, including the autocratic Awami government did not register the Bangladesh Justice Party.
When the opportunity to conduct democratic politics arose in the post-autocratic Bangladesh on August 5, 2024, the Bangladesh Justice Party was reorganized and initiatives were taken for registration.
