| Nizami sings old Jinnah song |
| 2008-12-17 |
| On the occasion of the country's Victory Day yesterday, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami repeatedly expressed his support for Pakistani leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah's two-nation theory basing on which Pakistan was created in 1947. Noted historians, educationists and intellectuals of the country termed Nizami's remark an "audacious" and "tendentiously wrong reading of history" because Bangladesh was not liberated based on the two-nation theory but Bangalee nationalism. They said making such remarks amounts to an act of sedition. |
