Religious affairs ministry has removed all books written by alleged war criminals and people involved in preaching ideology of Maududi, considered as the think tank of Jamaat-e-Islami, from all countrywide libraries based in mosques and others run by the Islamic foundation. State Minister for Religious Affairs Ministry Shajahan Mia said this in parliament yesterday during question hour. He also said steps will be taken if any library still has those books.
