Matiur Rahman Akanda condemns the intentional propaganda of Somoy TV against Jamaat-e-Islami

Central Publicity Affairs Secretary of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and party’s central executive committee member Matiur Rahman Akanda has issued the following statement on 27 September 2021 protesting and gainsaying the intentional propaganda of Somoy Television against Jamaat-e-Islami.

Somoy television in its news, aired on 27th September, made some confusing news implicating Jamaat-e-Islami which is totally false and politically motivated. The report accused Jamaat-e-Islami of committing violence in the election of 2014, murders and conspiracies and also for mulling another conspiracy ahead of the upcoming election. All these information is nothing but a fabricated story of the concerned reporter. We are vehemently condemning this false and untrue news.

We want to assert that Jamaat-e-Islami is a systematic and democratic political party. Jamaat has adopted some strategies to meet its target which are obvious and open to all. Jamaat has been working accordingly. Jamaat does not believe in conspiracy and ill-intentions. Jamaat has no nexus with any sort of spying activities. Jamaat has no secret agenda or secret program. Jamaat’s activities are visible. Government has unjustifiably closed the central, city and district offices of Jamaat-e-Islami for last 10 years and creating bar to obstruct the party activities. Jamaat is not a foreign sponsored party. Jamaat is the only organization, which is functioning with the donation of its party workers and supporters.

I am urging the authorities of Somoy Television to be refrained from telecasting such false, concocted and fictitious report against Jamaat-e-Islami in future.
