Government is continuously arresting innocent Jamaat activists just to stay in power forcefully, alleges Rafiqul Islam Khan

Assistant Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan has issued the following statement on 27th September, 2017 protesting and condemning the unjust arrest of Pabna district’s Santhia Upazila Jamaat Ameer Mostafizur Rahman Firoz along with a female activist and similar unjustifiable arrest of Narshingdi district’s Polash Upazila Jamaat Ameer and Isakhali Fajil Madrasa’s Vice Principal Maulana Amzad Hossen.

“Police has unlawfully and unjustifiably arrested Pabna district’s Santhia Upazila Jamaat Ameer Mostafizur Rahman Firoz along with a female activist and Narshingdi district’s Polash Upazila Jamaat Ameer and Isakhali Fajil Madrasa’s Vice Principal Maulana Amzad Hossen. They have become the victim of government’s political vengeance.

The government is relentlessly arresting the members and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami nationwide just to stay in power forcefully. Even the decent women with religious attires are not being escaped from such oppression. Government’s fascist face is being exposed by these arrest drive against the innocent Jamaat activists. I am calling upon the countrymen to raise voice against the torture and suppression of the incumbent government.

Finally I am urging the authorities concerned to release all the detained members and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami including Pabna district’s Santhia Upazila Jamaat Ameer Mostafizur Rahman Firoz and Narshingdi district’s Polash Upazila Jamaat Ameer Maulana Amzad Hossen immediately.”
