Abdur Razzaq, the then Assistant Secretary General of
Jamaat-e-Islami, resigned from the party over the issue of Jamaat's demand for reforms and its stance on the
Bangladesh Liberation War. Just hours after his resignation,
Mujibur Rahman Bhuiyan Manju, a former Jamaat central Shura member and ex-president of
Islami Chhatra Shibir, was expelled from the party. As a result, on April 27, a new political platform named "Jano Akangkhar Bangladesh" was launched under the leadership of Mujibur Rahman Bhuiyan Manju. This platform then transformed into the Amar Bangladesh Party in 2020. Later, Barrister Abdur Razzak also resigned from his position as the chief advisor of the AB Party. In 2023, it joined the
Bangladesh Nationalist Party in a movement to demand the restoration of the
caretaker government system.
