Matiur Rahman Akanda dismisses the false news of Kaler Kantha against Jamaat-e-Islami

Central Executive Committee member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and party’s central publicity Affairs Secretary Matiur Rahman Akanda has issued the following statement on 11 April 2021 protesting and gainsaying the false and fabricated news of Daily Kaler Kantha titled ‘‘‘ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়ায় হেফাজতের তাণ্ডব; খোলস পাল্টে বাঁচার চেষ্টায় হামলাকারীরা’ (Mayhem of Hefazat in Brahmanbaria; Attackers are trying to transform themselves to save themselves).

In the aforesaid news, some information has been published implicating Jamaat-e-Islami and Chhatrashibir which is completely fictitious, false, concocted and ill-intentional. The news also claimed that, many of the attackers took part in the mayhem wearing pant and shirt and assumably they belong to Jamaat and Chhatrashibir. The reporter tried to brand these attackers as Jamaat-Shibir just considering their dresses which is nothing but a poor concoction of his own. We earlier had observed that some vested quarters are always trying to implicate Jamaat with all kinds of misdeeds and wrongdoings.

We want to assert that Jamaat and Chhatrashibir has no connection with the Brahmanbria mayhem. We are vehemently condemning and protesting the speculation based and fiction-based report of Daily Kaler Kantha.
