Jamaat Ameer recalls the contribution of Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali on the occasion of his martyrdom anniversary

Former Central Executive Committee member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, renowned entrepreneur, philanthropist and media personality Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali was unlawfully executed in connection with a false case on 3rd September of 2016. Recalling his outstanding contributions, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Ameer Maqbul Ahmad has issued the following statement on 2ndSeptember, 2018.

“Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali was completely innocent. I am recalling his outstanding contributions in the movement of establishing Islamic society in this country. Since his student life, Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali had struggled to launch a Islamic welfare society. He was the founding central president of Bangladesh IslamiChhatrashibir. He also played pivotal role to establish Islamic Banks, Islamic Insurances, mosques, religious schools and other Islamic and welfare institutions in various places across the country. He undertook some effective steps to reach health services at the door of the poor and impoverished community at minimum cost. The poverty-stricken people of the country will remember his contribution always with due respect and honor. He has been executed unlawfully just because of his active involvement with the Islamic movement.

Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali was sentenced to death in a case of so called crimes against humanity. The prosecution could not prove their charges against him. He had no relevance and nexus with the alleged charges. He had been deprived from getting justice and the government has hanged him to death on 3rd September of 2016 just because of their political vengeance. The government executed him as a part of their conspiracies to destroy the leadership of Jamaat-e-Islami. 

The government has killed Mir Quasem Ali and 4 other top leaders of Jamaat-e-Islamiin order to eliminate this organization. His blood will inspire us always to carry out the movement for establishing a Islamic welfare state in this country. His sacrifice will bolster democracy, human rights and rule of law in the country as well. The heinous and unjust treatment of the government against Mir Quasem Ali has been proved once again as some plain clothed men in the name of the law enforcers picked up his son Barrister Mir Ahmand Bin Quasem Arman from the house on 9th August of 2016. Till now he is traceless. Barrister Arman was discharging duties as the defence counsel in his father’s case.

We have to pay deep respect and tribute towards Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali by establishing Islamic society in this country. We are praying to Almighty Allah seeking His blessings so that we can accomplish the unfinished tasks of Shaheed Mir Quasem Ali. Ameen.
