Bar to Convention
Ahmadiyyas demand probe
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Bangladesh yesterday called for an investigation into the reasons that prevented the religious community from holding its annual convention in Gazipur.
The district administration of Gazipur on Saturday prevented the annual convention of the organisation, and slapped section144 in and around the venue in the wake of protests from religious bigots.
The Ahmadiyya leaders suspect that the move was a result of threats from local fundamentalists in Gazipur.
The demand came at a press conference at the office of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jam'aat Bangladesh in Bakshibazar in the city yesterday.
The Ahmadiyya community leaders said they rented Bahadurpur Scout Training Camp to avoid problems with local religious bigots.
