The party is staunchly opposed to US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, and has participated in many rallies and protests on the issue[citation needed].
In June 2004, ahead of a visit to Bangladesh by Donald Rumsfeld, the party issued a statement calling him a "perpetrator of genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan, a war criminal, enemy of mankind and Allah".
