Jamaat's Attack on Police
Mahila Parishad expresses concern
Bangladesh Mahila Parishad yesterday expressed deep concern over the repeated attacks on police by activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and pro-Jamaat student organisation Islami Chhatra Shibir across the country since November 5.
In a statement signed by the parishad President Ayesha Khanam and General Secretary Maleka Banu, the parishad leaders strongly condemned the incidents and demanded exemplary punishment to the perpetrators.
They urged all to remain united in the demand for the trial of war criminals.
"Jamaat-Shibir activists are launching attacks on police to foil the ongoing trial of top Jamaat leaders who are detained on charge of war crimes," said the statement.
Jamaat-Shibir activists launched the recent violence in Ramu of Cox's Bazar and attack on Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at to destroy communal harmony in the country, the statement said.
Meanwhile in a separate statement, Bangladesh Olama Mashaikh Okkiyo Jote demanded a ban on politics of Jamaat and steps to expedite the war crimes trial.
