Central working committee member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Dhaka city North unit Secretary Dr. Mohammad Rezaul Karim alleged that the government has targeted Jamaat-e-Islami in order to eliminate Islam and Islamic values from the country. As a part of the that conspiracy, the authority has arrested Jamaat Ameer Maqbul Ahmad, Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Mia Ghulam Parwar and Secretary General Dr. Shafiqur Rahman and other leaders and caused them sufferings in the name of police remand. But such torture and repression cannot halt the advancement of Islam and the history testified that fact. He also prayed for the release and long life of the aged Jamaat leaders.

He was addressing in a prayer program in an auditorium of the capital today as a part of the Jamaat’s central body declared special day program. Among others, Dhaka city North working committee member Nazim Uddin Molla and Majlish-e-Shura member Dr. Fakhruddin Manik were present in the occasion.

Dr. Karim further alleged that the government had executed earlier former Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami, former Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, former Assistant Secretary Generals Mohammad Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla and ex-executive committee member of the party Mir Quasem Ali in order to wipe out the opposition quarters and to introduce one party rule in the country. As a part of their plot to annihilate the opposition forces, the authority filed thousands of false cases against the opposition men and kept them imprisoned for years. In the name of police remand, they carried unprecedented torture against the opposition workers. But the crackdown of the government against the opposition rather intensified the mass resistance. The conspiracy against Jamaat-e-Islami would be boomerang for the government. 

Chittagong City Jamaat:

Special prayer program held in different area of the port city Chittagong for the release Jamaat Ameer Maqbul Ahmad, Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Mia Ghulam Parwar and Secretary General Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, Chittagong city Ameer Mohammad Shahjahan, Secretary Nazrul Islam and Chittagong South district Ameer Jafor Sadeq.

In these prayer programs, Jamaat leaders alleged that the government has imprisoned the top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami just to keep the party away from election. But Islamic movement would never be eliminated through the ill acts like detention, torture and false cases. The government has arrested the top hierarchy of Jamaat-e-Islami unlawfully. They want their immediate unconditional release.

 Sylhet city:

Central working committee member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Sylhet city Ameer Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Jubayer stated that the Islamic movement, Islam and Islamic leaderships are crossing a crucial time. The government has arrested Jamaat Ameer Maqbul Ahmad, Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Mia Ghulam Parwar and Secretary General Dr. Shafiqur Rahman just to halt the progress of Jamaat-e-Islami.

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has become the worst victim of government’s repression. Almighty Allah never rejects the prayer of the oppressed peoples. So we should offering prayer before the lordship of Almighty Allah. The land which is blessed with the blood of the martyrs of the Islamic movement, today or tomorrow Islam would be succeeded here, by Allah’s will. Later he led the prayer program. Hundreds of Jamaat activists were present at that time.
