The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975.

leaders, including Mamunul Haq visited the office on Tuesday.

Pointing at them, the Jamaat Ameer said they came to visit the office and saw the documents of vandalism.

The Jamaat Ameer asked the nation to curb criminal acts with a firm hand.

"Today, we would like to call the nation to curb criminal acts with firm hands wherever you see these things. We’re promising that we’re ready to extend our full cooperation to the existing administration in this regard," he said.

He said some opportunistic miscreants attacked vandalized, looted and set fire to a number of government establishments, rivals’ houses, and religious institutions of various religions in different parts of Bangladesh ---in cities and rural areas-- with the advent of a change.

"Those who have conscience and humanity can’t do these acts. That is why our organization is strongly condemning the miscreants who are doing such things repeatedly," said the Jamaat chief.

He said they already urged the people of the country and his party’s leaders and activists to play the role of watchmen where people are in danger as whoever was born in the country is a proud citizen of Bangladesh regardless of caste and religion.

"Here all citizens have equal rights. Here no minority and no majority," said Shafiqur Rahman.

#2 The Jama'at-i-Islamis is an old outfit that was banned shortly after Bangladesh independence. In 1979 it was allowed to openly operated. By 2001 it openly supported Osama Bin Laden was tied with other small radical Islamist parties. The situation got so bad that in 2003 the US State Department warned US citizens in Bangla that they should be ready to leave at a momen't notice. Now after years in the wilderness you can expect the Jama'at to begin raising hell once again.
