AL terms Jamaat al-Qaeda-linked militant outfit:Daily Sun

  Branding Jamaat an evil force, Awami League on Monday said leaders and activists of the Islamist party are engaged in a war against the humanity around the world. “Jamaat is just another name. In other places, they are called the Taliban, the IS. The evil force of Jamaat and their associates have declared a war against the world,” said AL general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam. He made the remark
s while launching a digital video disc (DVD) titled ‘Annihilation by the BNP-Jamaat, Bloody Bangladesh,’ based on the BNP-Jamaat’s countrywide mayhem created to foil the January 5 polls. “Nobody is safe from the cruel clutches of the vested quarter,” mentioned Ashraf, also the LGRD and cooperatives minister. The publicity and publication wing of the ruling party organised the programme at the National Press Club in the capital. Ashraf said they started a war against the evil force much earlier. “They are the enemies of the humanity. We must win the war.” On Jamaat’s crimes against humanity, he said the countrymen did not witness the destructive activities of Hitler. “But we experienced Jamaat’s mayhem during our liberation war. Last year’s mayhem was the fresh copy of 1971.” Urging the people to resist the evil force, Ashraf said, “No professionals, including journalists, lawyers and intellectuals, are neutral as they support a side (any party). But nobody can be neutral against crimes against humanity.” The minister called upon everybody to build up a bulwark of resistance against the BNP-Jamaat axis. At the beginning, the organisers aired the documentary film that featured the countrywide mayhem created centering the January 5 elections and court verdicts on crimes against humanity. Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalist president Manzurul Ahsan Bulbul, Supreme Court Bar Association’s former general secretary SM Rezaul Karim, International Crimes Tribunal prosecutor Tureen Afroz and Rokeya Kabir, among others, also spoke at the event with Hasan Mahmud in the chair.
