Maolana Mamunul Haque, secretary general of Khelafat Majlis and also joint secretary general of Hefazat-e-Islam on Saturday demanded that the immediate past ruling party Bangladesh Awami League and its youth wing Bangladesh Awami Jubo League must be banned by the interim government.
Mamunul Haque made the demand while addressing a mass rally as chief guest at Laldighi field in Chattogram on Saturday afternoon. Khelafat Majlis’s Chattogram city and district units organised the rally which was presided over by Khelafat Majlis’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Ali Usman.
“The interim government has taken a historic decision by banning Bangladesh Chhatra League as a terrorist organisation. Jubo League has done more terrorism than Chhatra League. Awami League has done several times more terrorism than others. That’s why the Awami League has no right to do politics,” said Mamunul Haque.
Mamunul alleged that Sheikh Hasina did politics depending on the spirit of the 1972 constitution. Not only Sheikh Hasina but also her father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman also betrayed with the spirit of 1971, by taking away the voting rights of the people.
Mamunul claimed that the liberation war of 1971 started with steadfast trust and faith in Allah. The commitment of the 1971 liberation war was the promise that no law against the Quran and Sunnah would be made in this country.
Khelafat Majlis’s joint secretary general Nasir Uddin, Jalal Uddin Ahmed, Tofazzal Hossain, Ataullah Amin, Azizur Rahman Helal, among others, addressed the rally.
The interim government on October 23 banned Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of immediate past ruling party Bangladesh Awami League, for their alleged involvement in the killings and destructive and terrorist activities, both directly and through incitement, during the July revolution under Clause 18(1) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009, according to a gazette notification issued by the Public Security Division of the Home Ministry.
