| Top Jamaat leaders talk trial issue |
| 2009-01-30 |
| Top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami yesterday discussed political issues including the government's move to try the war criminals and saving the party from the present severe crisis. The two-day meeting of Majlish-e-Sura, the highest policy-making body of the party, began yesterday at the Al-Falah auditorium in the city's Moghbazar. Sources said the Jamaat leaders at the meeting discussed the reasons for the party's debacle in the December 29 election and its next course of action. Jamaat's highest policy-making body might come up with new strategies and decisions to tackle the present crisis, said party sources. "We have discussed several issues including the present political situation," a Jamaat central leader said. He, however, denied giving any details. Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and former minister Matiur Rahman Nizami at the inaugural session of the meeting said a 'deep conspiracy' is being hatched to give transit to India, which would pose a serious threat to national security. He also criticised the new government's plan to form South Asian Taskforce for combating militancy in the country. "Neither the transit facilities to India nor the formation of South Asian Taskforce is acceptable to us as both will pose threats to national security," said the Jamaat chief. He also said the formation of South Asian Taskforce will allow other countries to interfere in the country's internal issues. |
