2015-05-23
[Dhaka Tribune] Senior leaders of the ruling Awami League allege that those who had opposed the birth of Bangladesh in 1971 still are actively propagating against the spirit of the Liberation War in and outside the country.

Addressing different events in the capital yesterday, they asked the countrymen to come under a platform and resist the conspirators and the religious snuffies patronised by BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
The ruling party organised the programmes marking the homecoming day of party President and Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums..
Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu said: "Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been trying her level best to develop the country by ensuring the voting rights of her countrymen. But BNP Chairperson the loathesome Khaleda Zia
Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ...
and the Jamaat-e-Islami are trying to foil the initiatives.

Terming the BNP-Jamaat alliance a religious myrmidon group, Amu alleged they were again trying to take the country under Pakistain. "BNP chief Khaleda Zia and the Jamaat did not accept the country's independence," Amu said at a meeting at the National Press Club.

Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed said the BNP-Jamaat alliance had burnt people and destroyed property in the name of a movement since January.

"When BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and Jamaat-e-Islami ordered activists to carry out arson attacks on innocent people, the public refused them and supported the government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina," he said at another programme in the city.

"The BNP-Jamaat alliance has been hatching a conspiracy against the country aimed at fulfilling the interest of Pakistain," he claimed.
