| 2009-03-27 |
| Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Matiur Rahman Nizami yesterday said militancy has been invented to impede development of Bangladesh keeping the frontier unprotected. Addressing a meeting marking the Independence Day at Al Falah building, he said Awami League (AL) knows well that those involved in Islamic movement cannot have link with any acts of sabotage. Nizami noted that after the independence Rakkhi Bahini formed by AL did not feel the urgency of launching operation against the then leaders of the Islamic movement, rather they carried out operation against the leftists and JSD leaders who deserted the AL. "Having failed to accept Islam as code of life, they (AL) campaign against the leaders of Islamic movement," said the Jamaat chief. He pointed out that conspiracy was cooked up to weaken the country's defence system through the BDR carnage. "Those who do not want a self-reliant army made the conspiracy." In his speech at the Independence Day function, Nizami said the way 9/11 (in America) is a curse for the whole Muslim world, 1/11 would also remain a curse for Bangladesh. He also criticized the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan by the Zionists. Presided over by City Jamaat Amir Rafiqul Islam, the meeting was addressed by Jamaat leaders ATM Azharul Islam, Hamidur Rahman Azad MP, Nurul Islam and Maulana Abdul Halim. Azharul said, "Those who directly fought against Bangladesh were released and conspiracy is on to try those who did not fight the war, in a bid to eliminate the Islamic leadership." |
