    This thread has now been linked to an anti-Bengali website called defence.pk by an individual with the internet handle of "Da Bannu Mazdigar", called by others as Da Lahore Mazdigar.

    On the following thread on another forum, Da Lahore links to this page: http://defence.pk/threads/pakistan-s...305321/page-35


    A couple of points.

    1. Defence.pk is a anti-Bangladeshi website which hosts members of the radical Jamaat-i-Islami terrorist organization.

    There have been calls for violence and terrorism in Bangladesh on that website as well as calls for possible fighting against the military.

    2. Jamaatis are protected in that website and allowed to flourish giving the false impression that they represent a sizeable portion of the Bangladeshi population (they in fact enjoy less than 5% support).

    Here is an example of the Jamaati behaviour on that Pakistani website:

    You are either an Indian Dog(Kutta) or imported dog from India by all mean. It's a proven fact that you are more loyal to India than Bangladesh by all counts. You are ghaddar and you sold your mother/sister prestige to India. You do not belong here.


    Post 40.

    Now the troll who wrote this is called Al-Zakir and is presumably known by Bangladeshi intelligence. He is based in New York and has medical problems (physical) but yells violent abuse on a Pakistani nationalist forum against Bengalis because he knows he is protected. However before he registered on a Bangladeshi forum and claimed to be a Pakistani, then at other times Bengali. He was eventually banned on the forum (bdmilitary.com, his handle was "Hayderi" or something similar). His behaviour on there was totally different, in fact he came across as quite timid.

    3. The character who runs the forum is a Punjabi who started a forum called "Pashtuns forum", for pro-Pakistani Pashtuns with lots of anti-Afghan content.

    The forum recently seems to have disappeared, Alhamdulilah.


    4. Da Lahore Mazdigar does not know that in his page where he linked to this thread he addresses a character called Genmirajborgza. Borgza was a member of this site under the name "Borgza", (which he has now changed). Borgza claimed to be an Indian from Calcutta of West Bengal of Pashtun lineage.

    He was very anti-Pakistani and even posted a picture of the Indian army once in response to some Pakistani nationalists.

    However before that period (2010-11) he used to post on bdmilitary.com posing as a Pakistani nationalist.


    5. Da Lahore posting to this website just does the following:

    a: Increases traffic for this site and increases readership.

    b: Generates more awareness of the true nature of Jamaat-e-Islami.


    6: The Bangladeshi government has announced that they plan to ban the Jamaat-e-Islami terrorist organization possibly around June.

    A mixed-race Saudi/American-Italian terrorist supporter on that forum called "Yzd Khalifa", will not be able to stop that. Yzd Khalifa is an embarrasment for Saudi Arabia as he is sycophantic with regards to Pakistan and highly abusive towards Bangladesh.

    People such as Americans, Canadians, Australians, Britons, French, Russians, Chinese, Turks who all read his posts will clearly see that and wonder why a Saudi government official openly insults Bangladeshis calling them "savages" while displaying the utmost restraint with Pakistanis and Indians.

    This belies Saudi attempts to portray itself as some sort of promoter of peace as it is seeking to do.



    Saudis and their inter-faith dialogue. The Saudi inter-faith dialogue centre is based in Vienna.

      BD war crimes investigators move for total dissolution of Jamaat


      Updated 2014-03-25 13:31:27


      DHAKA: Bangladesh war crimes investigators moved Tuesday to outlaw the country's largest Islamic party, accusing it of genocide and other atrocities during the 1971 bloody struggle for independence.

      Government investigators handed a report detailing war crimes allegations against Jamaat-i-Islami to prosecutors, in the latest move against the party which has banned from contesting January elections.

      “We want total dissolution of the party,” the government's chief war crimes investigator Abdul Hannan Khan told reporters.

      “Jamaat and its wings took the decision to act as auxillary forces of the Pakistani army in committing atrocities in the 1971 war. So the party cannot avoid its superior responsibilities,” Hannan said.

      Hannan said prosecutors from the country's controversial war crimes tribunal would now proceed with charges against the party which would lead to a trial in the same tribunal.

      “The whole nation has been waiting for this trial. It is the first time after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials that a party is to be prosecuted for war crimes,” Hannan said, comparing Jamaat to the Nazi party.

      The tribunal, set up by the secular government in 2010, has already convicted more than a dozen of Jamaat's leaders over crimes allegedly committed during Bangladesh's war against Pakistan for independence.


      A senior Jamaat leader was executed in December after his conviction, sparking a fresh wave of deadly protests by Islamist supporters.

      Protesters have repeatedly clashed with police over the tribunal, which Islamists claim is aimed at eradicating its leaders, leaving more than 200 people dead since last January when the verdicts were first handed down.

      Jamaat, a leading opposition party, was banned from contesting general elections held in January this year which were boycotted by other opposition parties and marred by bloodshed.

      The country's top court ruled last August that Jamaat be banned because its charter followed Islamic law that conflicted with the nation's official secular constitution, although the party was allowed to hold rallies.

      There was no immediate comment from Jamaat but the party has earlier accused the country's government of organising show trials in an effort to destroy it.

      Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government says three million people died in the war, many at the hands of pro-Pakistan militias led by Jamaat leaders who opposed secession from Pakistan on religious grounds.

      Independent researchers put the death toll between 300,000 and 500,000 people.






      1. Jamaat is a terrorist organization which has never apologized for the war crimes it committed in 1971.

      2. Bangladesh was forced to unban it due to Saudi pressure.

      3. The Saudis now have enough problems on their own so would be stupid to go round picking fights with the 150 million Muslims of Bangladesh in support of a party which supports the "Muslim Brotherhood", is pro-Iranian, and whose rank and file supporters hate Abdullah Al-Saud (head of the Saud tribe and ruler of Saudi Arabia).



      Abdullah Al-Saud (right), his government is very pro-India and anti-Bangladeshi, recently a Saudi government official "Yzd Khalifa" praised Hindu Indians and attacked Muslim Bengalis on a Pakistani forum. Al-Saud's support for India may conflict with his support for the anti-Indian Jamaat e Islami terrorist organization and India may request him to stop supporting this group as it as a cause of instability in the south Asian region and a threat to both India and Bangladesh.

      4. Also another supporter of war criminals, Erdogan of Turkey is struggling for his very survival in Turkey amidst allegations of corruption and now new sexual allegations. If Erdogan chooses to bark support for the Jamaat whilst he is hated by:

      - Turkey's powerful Gulen movement
      - Secular urban elite
      - Alevis
      - military

      then he is even more of a madman and maglomaniac than many consider him.

      Erdogan's regime virtually attacked the Bangladeshi embassy in Turkey (at the least allowed it to happen) and attacked the Bangladeshi government over an issue of huge national sensitivity.




      "Pious Muslim", the hugely controversial Erdogan has supported war criminals in Bangladesh in the past and may yet again seek to provoke Bangladesh whilst he faces allegations of financial corruption as well as controversy over his private life.


      5. A Bangladeshi ban on Jamaat (supported by society as a whole and not just the Awami League) would mirror the Egyptian ban on the "Muslim" Brotherhood.


      I personally do not mind a party in Bangladesh existing which is pro-Brotherhood but it must:

      1. Not be a tool of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia (as per the current Jamaat).

      2. Condemn the war crimes of 1971 and the Pakistani army and the Jamaat.

      3. Be proud of an independent Bangladesh.


      For example the Jamaat e Islami in Afghanistan (Tajik-dominated) is not loyal to Pakistan and is loyal to the nation of Afghanistan, we in Bangladesh need something similar, obviously with a different name though.


      The other Islamic political parties that exist in Bangladesh such as Khelafah Majlis, Islami Oikya Jote and others would all still be perfectly legal under this proposed ban on the pro-Pakistani Jamaat.

        Saudi ruler, Abdullah Al-Saud with a Hindu cleric. Abdullah Al-Saud's Saudi regime is heavily pro-Hindu India as well as pro-Buddhist Sri Lanka but has until recently implemented sanctions against Muslim Bangladesh (e.g. banning of workers) due to Pakistani/Jamaati influence. A Saudi regime official, "Yzd Khalifa" was also abusing Bangladeshis online this week and calling for the overthrow of the Bangladeshi government and the installation of a pro-Pakistani regime.

              Don’t ban Jamaat if they apologise: JP minister




              Staff Correspondent, bdnews24.com
              Published: 2014-03-30 09:54:53.0 BdST Updated: 2014-03-30 10:54:30.0 BdST


              A minister of Bangladesh's ruling coalition has suggested not to ban the Jamaat-e-Islami -- but only if the party offered a public apology for its role during the 1971 Liberation War.


              Water Resources Minister Anisul Islam Mahmud came up with this suggestion two days after the investigators of Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) recommended a ban on Jamaat.

              Joining a discussion organised by BBC Bangla on Saturday, Mahmud said: “My personal opinion is that it will be better not to ban the Jamaat if the party offers a public apology for its role (in 1971) and pledges to refrain from violence.”

              But Mahmud, a Jatiya Party Presidium member, said there should be more discussion on this issue before a final decision is taken.

              The Jamaat has never offered a public apology for the atrocities its activists perpetrated in 1971.

              The two war crimes tribunals have prosecuted several senior Jamaat leaders since 2010 and a number of them have already been sentenced to death or for life.

              During these trials, the Jamaat's role in violently opposing the country's independence in support of the Pakistani military effort emerged.

              That prompted the tribunal’s investigators to start a probe against the party and its affiliates to establish their war-time role.

              The investigation team on Mar 25 slapped seven charges of 'crimes against humanity' against the Islamist party, setting the stage for its prosecution for its role during the Liberation War.

              The first war crimes tribunal described Jamaat as a ‘criminal organisation’ in its verdict sentencing its top war-time leader Ghulam Azam to 90 years in prison.

              The tribunal made similar observations while handing down death sentences to other Jamaat leaders like Delwar Hossain Sayedee, Abdul Quader Molla and Muhammad Kamaruzzaman.

              The recent demand for a complete ban on Jamaat first started with the secular platform, Ganajagaran Mancha, which launched a mass movement in February last year demanding maximum punishment for 1971 'war criminals'.

              The movement led to an amendment of the law for trial of war crimes, making it possible for trial of an entire political party and not just individuals.

              Law Minister Anisul Huq has recently said the government would take 'necessary steps' after the court delivers its verdict in a case over de-registration of the Jamaat-e-Islami.

              The Election Commission last year had de-registered the Jamaat because its party charter was found to be inconsistent with Bangladesh's constitution.

              Interestingly, BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam, who joined Saturday’s ‘BBC Sanglap’ along with Anisul Islam Mahmud, pulled up the ruling Awami League for its 'lack of sincerity' for banning Jamaat.

              Jamaat is a close ally of the BNP.

              He said, “Awami League’s leaders and lawmakers are inducting Jamaat supporters into their party. I think Jamaat won’t be banned as Awami League wants a compromise.”

              Asked whether Jamaat should apologise for its 1971 war-time role , Islam said : “As a freedom fighter, I think everyone who opposed (Bangladesh’s) independence must apologise.”

              A part of me says that the Jamaat will never apologize as they are an anti-Bangladeshi party who thinks Bengalis are racially inferior to lighter-skinned more "pak" (purer) Musulman (Muslims) from Pakistan.

              The other side of me says however the Jamaatis are also known for being greedy and corrupt and very business-minded so the business side of them would compromise i.e. apologize to survive in official existence.


              However with India becoming more powerful I do not think India will accept Saudi-backing of this terrorist organization in Bangladesh especially since it is not a major Saudi concern.

              Saudi Arabia is the reason why Jamaat was unbanned.

                Jamaat-e-Islami seeks ban on Indian movies in buses

                April 30, 2014, 3:42 pm NNI



                Jamaat-e-Islami seeks ban on Indian movies in buses

                LAHORE- Jamaat-e-Islami MPA in Punjab Assembly Dr Syed Wasim Akhtar today submitted a resolution in the assembly, seeking a ban on showing vulgar Indian movies in passenger buses.

                The resolution says that obscene movies were shown in the inter-districts buses that cause mental agonies for the passengers especially for women. The resolution says that when someone tried to ask the drivers to stop running the movies they were snubbed. It called on the Punjab government to focus on the important matter and take steps to stop the people from facing embarrassment. The Jamaat leader in a separate statement said that the Indian vulgar movies had spoiled the character of the youth.

                Jamaat e "Islami" is hated widely in Pakistan and gets very few votes. However it has a very good relationship with the Pakistani military/security establishment and of course America.

                    Bangladesh is heading for a ban on the Saudi-backed Jamaat e Islami terrorist organization.

                    However the two-faced Jamaatis will probably be turning towards their sponsors in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for support.



                    Abdullah Al-Saud, head of the Saudi regime.



                    Faisal Al-Saud, Saudi foreign minister and claimed by some to be the real ruler of Saudi Arabia.


                    However the Saudis if they do continue to support the Jamaat e Islami terrorist organization in Bangladesh are being exploited by the pro-Iranian Jamaat as the Jamaat are strong "Muslim" Brotherhood supporters.






                    From Basherkella, the Bangladeshi Jamaati facebook page.



                    The Jamaat in Bangladesh has already announced they are planning a campaign of violence and terror soon with the possible conviction of one of their senior leaders.

                      Mir Quasem verdict any day now

                      Bangladesh’s second war crimes tribunal is expected to deliver a verdict in Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mir Quasem Ali’s case any day now.

                      Jamaat financier indicted on 14 charges
                      2013-09-05 12:11:16.0

                      Justice Obaidul Hassan-led ICT-2 finished hearing the arguments on Sunday.

                      Mir Quasem was indicted on Sept 5 last year on 14 charges including murder, abduction and torture.

                      Founder of the Ibn Sina Trust and an owner of Diganta Media, Mir Quasem is said to have been third in Al-Badr militia command structure during the 1971 Liberation War.

                      He allegedly was a key leader of Chittagong’s Al Badr unit and also featured prominently in the national Al Badr structure.

                      He is a director of the Islami Bank and director of the non-government organisation, Rabita al-Alam al-Islami.

                      The Jamaat leader is also said to be one of the top financiers of the party. He is the chairman of the Diganta Media Corporation, regarded as a pro-Jamaat media house.

                      Mir Quasem was arrested on June 17 last year from the Naya Diganta newspaper office in less than two hours of the tribunal issuing a warrant of arrest. Later the tribunal sent him to jail.

                      The prosecution on May 16 had filed the charges against the Jamaat leader and the tribunal on May 26 had taken the charges into cognisance.

                      The 14 charges levelled against Mir Quasem include murder, abduction, torture and massacre.

                      Crimes against humanity including murder, massacre, rape and loot were rampant in Chittagong and Mir Quasem allegedly had played a leading role in them.

                      There are also allegations that he ordered the massacre and murders at the Razakar camps there.

                      Mir Quasem, who is from Manikganj's Harirampur, was better known as 'Mintu' to the people of Chittagong during the war. He was associated with the Islami Chhatra Sangha during his college days.

                      Later he became the President of the Islami Chhatra Sangha’s Chittagong unit and General Secretary of its East Pakistan unit.

                      Al-Badr members and Razakars had set up torture centres in Dalim Hotel at Andarkilla, leather depot at Asadganj and in Salma Monjil at Panchlaish in the port city.

                      He is also accused of preparing a list of the intellectuals who were murdered towards the end of the Liberation War. The intellectuals were killed on Dec 14, 1971, only two days before the victory.

                      After independence, Mir Quasem had fled to Saudi Arabia and returned to Bangladesh only after Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of the members of Bangabandhu’s family were brutally killed on Aug 15, 1975.

                      Later, when Chhatra Sangha rechristened itself as Islami Chhatra Shibir on February 6, 1977, he became its founding President

                      All eyes will now be turning on Jamaat supporters of course in Saudi Arabia but also on AKP strongman and thug, Erdogan whose regime were responsible for the Bangladeshi embassy in Turkey being attacked after the Quader Molla execution.



                      Erdogan, his American-backed regime, may as per US instructions try and insult Bangladesh once again over trials of radical fundamentalists and war criminals. The US-backed strongman is deeply unpopular amongst middle-class Turks and has held on to power via intimidation, illegal actions and other means.




                      Obama. The American regime supported the Pakistani genocide of 1971 against Bengalis and is a strong supporter of the Jamaat e Islami terrorist organization. The American regime can be expected to speak out in defence of the Jamaat e Islami terrorist organization.



                      BRING IT ON ERDOGAN, BRING IT ON OBAMA, BRING IT ON!

                      WE'RE READY!


                      If Erdogan or the AKP say anything all I can say is watch, wait and listen.

                        A Jamaati on a notorious Pakistani hate site has called for the mass expulsion of all Bangladesh citizens of Hindu origin.

                        Send all hindus to india, problem solved.





                        - This may constitute a hate crime or an incitement to hatred under Bangladeshi laws and if this American-based Jamaati attempts to enter Bangladesh he could face possible arrest.

                        - He and other Jamaatis on the Pakistani hate site (defence.pk) have also celebrated the death of Bangladeshi security personnel and called for them to be murdered.

                          What should Bangladesh do with Jamaat?

                          Taj Hashmi

                          AS media reports, the Bangladesh Government is going to proscribe the Jamaat-e-Islami as a political party. This move could be taken as early as December, or latest by January 2015. The High Court has already de-registered the party, which amounts to revoking its legitimacy. From the ongoing debates among politicians, analysts and members of the civil society in Bangladesh on proscribing the Jamaat it appears that the issue solely hinges on one particular premise, the party's opposition to the Liberation War of Bangladesh; and its leaders' and workers' collaborative role in the mass killing and rape of Bengalis by the Pakistani occupation army in 1971.

                          I strongly believe that the proscription of the Jamaat in Bangladesh is essential, not only because of its heinous role against the Liberation War, but also for two other important considerations:

                          First, the Constitution does not allow the existence of any religion-based party in Bangladesh. A two-third majority in the Parliament has not yet amended the Constitution. Second, the Jamaat not only wants to establish an Islamic State, but it also believes in establishing a totalitarian Islamo-Fascist state where minorities and non-Muslim subjects would be just tolerated, would live as Zimmis or “protected people” with inferior rights. This official policy – as it appears in Maududi's writings – is not that different from what prevails in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and what the Islamic State (ISIS) is trying to establish in Iraq and Syria.

                          Since the Constitution does not allow any religion-based party in Bangladesh, the revival of the Jamaat and all religion-based parties by Ziaur Rahman simply violated the Constitution. The cardinal state ideologies, including democracy and secularism, can only be dropped or modified through a countrywide referendum. Even two-third majorities of parliament members are not entitled to bring any changes to the state principles.

                          General Ershad also violated the Constitution with impunity. His insertion of the clause of “State Religion” in the Bangladesh Constitution, turning Islam the “State Religion”, is a glaring example in this regard. Surprisingly, all the elected governments since the overthrow of the dictator have not revoked this provision, which is in violation of one of the fundamental state ideologies, Secularism.

                          Those who are against the proscription of the Jamaat argue that a) imposing a ban on the party would violate democratic principles; and that b) a proscribed Jamaat would be very dangerous as thousands of its members would go underground to engage in terrorist activities in the al Qaeda-esque manner. These are fallacious arguments. The fate of the would-be-terrorists emerging out of the proscribed-Jamaat would not be that different from what happened to terrorists belonging to various terror outfits in the recent past. Bangladesh is not the only country having terrorist threats; it will have to learn how to live with terrorism.

                          Now, I am not the only person to consider the Jamaat proto-fascist; and its founder Abul A'la Maududi (1903-1979) a clever manipulator and demagogue. He studied some science and was a journalist in his youth. So, like Hassan Banna, Sayyid Qutb, Bin Laden, Mohamed Morsi, and al-Zawahiri, technically he was also a “techno-cleric”, not an Islamic scholar, alim or maulana. Renowned Islamic scholars from South Asia, including Deobandis and Sufis from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have issued several fatwas against the Jamaat and its founder. They consider Maududi a heretic-cum-anarchist and the Jamaat a fitna or anarchy. Famous Indian nationalist Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (1888-1958) considered the Jamaat fascistic and deviant.


                          In the backdrop of Maududi's writings, Jamaat emerges as an Islamo-Fascist party. Maududi and Jamaat are inseparable. What Maududi is to Jamaat, Marx is to Communism. As Marx believed in the destruction of all states, so did Maududi.

                          In Maududi's own words: “Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth, which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation, which rules it …. Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet”. He believed that the “Muslim Party” or Jamaat should eliminate all “un-Islamic” governments by force; and “the head of the state should be the supreme head of legislature, executive and judiciary alike …. No non-Muslim or woman could be a head of state.” In Jamaat's Islamic Republic, the non-Muslims would not have the right to vote in presidential elections, must be “rigorously excluded from influencing policy decisions”, holding “key posts” in government and elsewhere, and would have to pay the discriminatory poll tax or jizya in lieu of military service.

                          In view of the above, there is no reason to believe that the Jamaat or its sister-organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, is just an Islamic party or like the Christian Democrats in Europe. Maududi and Jamaat have profoundly influenced Islamist politics and its derivative, Islamist terrorism, throughout the world. As Maududi's writings influenced Sayyid Qutb and Mohamed Morsi of the Brotherhood, and Ayatollah Khomeini, so did they influence Abdullah Azzam, the mentor of Osama bin Laden. Before assuming the office of the President of Egypt, Morsi stated he would “make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya”.

                          Pakistan's draconian Blasphemy Law and discriminatory policies against minorities and non-Muslims, and the overall dysfunctional state of affairs, may be attributed to the slow Jamaati infiltration of Islamist intolerance into society, especially during the military rule by the pro-Jamaati General Zia ul-Haq (1977-1988).

                          The Jamaat wants one or more mega Islamic States through gradual infiltration of Muslim societies. While Jamaat wants to go slow towards establishing its totalitarian state, al Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS and their ilk want to attain the same goal only through violent means. Abbas Ali Khan, the acting Amir of Jamaat in Bangladesh told me (for some specific reasons) in 1991 that his party did not believe in coming to power through elections (as it never polled more than 5 per cent votes) but through “other means” or gradual infiltration of society to stage a violent Islamist revolution.

                          Can Bangladeshis afford to become “(A)n ideological state in which legislators do not legislate, citizens only vote to reaffirm the permanent applicability of religious laws, women rarely venture outside their homes lest social discipline be disrupted, and non-Muslims are tolerated as foreign elements required to express their loyalty by means of paying a financial levy”? If not, it's time to proscribe the Jamaat. And the Prime Minister can do it just through one executive order. Meanwhile, politicians, intellectuals and members of the civil society – who believe in democracy and human rights – should take bi-partisan and proactive role to uphold democracy and human rights in Bangladesh.

                          *Mainstream Islamic scholars in Bangladesh and elsewhere reject the Jamaat i "Islami" terrorist organization.


                          If Jamaat is indeed banned in Bangladesh, the Pakistani military and others such as Imran Khan will openly speak out in favour of the terrorist organization.

                            Rafiqul Islam Khan protests mass arrest; urges Ministers to stop propaganda against Jamaat-e-Islami

                            SUNDAY, 25 AUGUST 2013

                            Acting Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan today (25th August, 2013) delivered the following statement protesting the arrest of more than 50 Jamaat-Shibir activists from various places of the country including Brahmanbaria, Chittagong, Sylhet, Chandpur, Jhinaidah and Shatkhira.*
                            I am vehemently protesting and condemning the arrest of more than 50 Jamaat-Shibir activists from various places of the country including Brahmanbaria, Chittagong, Sylhet, Chandpur, Jhinaidah and Shatkhira. Brahmanbaria district unit secretary Yakub Ali and Shabdarpur Union Council chairman of the Jhinaidah district Asgar Ali were also arrested and sent to jail unlawfully. I am calling upon the government to release all the detainees immediately.
                            The government is intensifying its heinous suppression upon the leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir as its tenure is gradually coming to an end. This initiative clearly proved that the government is plotting ill conspiracy to stay in power unlawfully by foiling the scheduled election.
                            Losing the public support, the government has become imbalanced. Prime Minister and her cabinet colleagues are often delivering irrational statements. I am also protesting the comment of the Prime Minister that she had delivered while addressing a public gathering in Araihajar of the Narayanganj district on 24th August. In that baseless statement the Premier claimed that, the nation will turn back into militancy if the BNP-Jamaat alliance would come to power again. The countrymen are well acknowledged of the relationship between Awami League leader Mirza Azam and former head of the banned militant outfit JMB Shaikh Abdur Rahman. This intimate relationship proved that, the militant organizations like JMB have been formed from the womb of Awami League. Several days back, police arrested some militants along with huge amount of arms and ammunitions from the house of the ruling party leader Dulal Hossen in Bogra district. Jamaat-e-Islami was no way involved with any of the militant attack incident like 21st August grenade attack, the murder of former finance minister SAMS Kibria and former lawmaker Ahsan Ullah Master, bomb blast in the Narayanganj Awami League office and bomb blast incident of 2006 in 63 districts. The Prime Minister is carrying unnecessary propaganda against Jamaat-e-Islami just to confuse the people.
                            I am also protesting the false statement of the Home Minister Dr. Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, where he claimed, Jamaat activists say their prayers without Oju, take their iftar without fasting and start prayer just throwing cigarettes. Such a fabricated statement can come out from the minister of the secular Awami League government. He is carrying politics with the name of religion by delivering such concocted statement. I am urging the Prime Minister and the Home Minister to be refrained from making such comments.*
                            I also urge the policy makers to shut the controversial tribunal to release the top leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. I am calling upon the government to resign from the office and to give up effort to confuse the people by making false statement.*****

                                Changing judiciary selection by changing the constitutional article to serve purpose of corrupt politicians....clearly shows there is no hope in secular awami league.
