Jamaat rejoinder
2008-07-14
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh yesterday protested a news report published in yesterday's issue of The Daily Star headlined "Jamaat activists' attack on freedom fighter sparks protest" saying the report was published with a view to tarnish the image of Jamaat.

In a statement, Tasnim Alam, secretary of the central publicity department of Jamaat, said the representatives' meeting of Jatiya Muktijoddha Parishad on Friday was run and managed by freedom fighters.

The statement said question of attacking or humiliating a freedom fighter by Jamaat cannot arise as Jamaat believes in Islam and the freedom fighters are the "best sons of the nation and the nation's pride".
The statement said question of attacking or humiliating a freedom fighter by Jamaat cannot arise as Jamaat believes in Islam and the freedom fighters are the "best sons of the nation and the nation's pride". The allegation of The Daily Star that Jamaat attacked a freedom fighter is "totally false", read the statement.

Meanwhile, Jatiya Muktijoddha Parishad also protested the news published in a number of newspapers and aired on a number of television channels regarding the representatives' meeting of the parishad. In a statement, it said, "We firmly state that there was no such incident of assault on freedom fighters in the meeting."

Mohammad Ali, whose news was published in newspapers and aired on Ekushey Television, is not a representative of the parishad, it said adding that nobody invited him and he even did not collect the entry card to the meeting. It also said a number of politicians are making unfair comments on the incident without examining facts. The statement urged the politicians concerned to refrain from making such comments.
