Magura: A leader of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on Thursday warned the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to rein in alleged ‘terrorist activities’ by its student wing, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, cautioning that failure to do so could lead to consequences worse than those faced by the Awami League. Md. Mubarak Hossain, a central executive council member of Jamaat-e-Islami and regional director for Jashore-Kushtia, made the remarks while addressing a conference at the district auditorium in Magura.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Mubarak Hossain criticized BNP’s recent activities, comparing them to the actions of the Awami League over the past 15 years. He suggested that BNP’s actions in just two to three months could precipitate its own downfall. Mubarak Hossain emphasized the ideological strength of Islami Chhatra Shibir, which he claimed represents students in several public universities, over Chhatra Dal.
The conference was presided over by Professor Maulana M. B. Baker, a member of Jamaat’s Central Majlis-e-Shura and Ameer of Magura district. Other notable attendees included Narail district Jamaat Ameer and Central Majlis-e-Shura member Advocate Ataur Rahman (Bachchu), MP, and Abdul Matin, a former Ameer of Magura district and a member of the Central Majlis-e-Shura.
