Khulna: Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and former MP, Professor Mia Golam Parwar, here today said that the ultimate goal of student-people sacrifices in the July-August uprising is to build an ideal society. 'To achieve this, Jamaat-e-Islami activists must prepare themselves accordingly,' he asserted. Parwar made the remarks as the chief guest at the inauguration ceremony of the new office of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Khulna city unit at Khan Jahan Ali Road in the city today.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Parwar stated that during past fascist regimes, all their offices were sealed off. Their activists were abducted from their homes and faced enforced disappearance, killing, and torture. He mentioned that their leaders were persecuted in the name of justice. However, he emphasized that while they do not believe in revenge, those who collaborated with fascism must be brought to justice to free the nation from stigma.
Golam Parwar further stated that the newly inaugurated Jamaat-e-Islami office in Khulna would serve as a center for studying the holy Quran and Hadith. Unlike other offices which often turn into mere gathering spots, this office will focus on research and study of Islamic teachings and literature. He emphasized the importance of building a group of principled and morally upright individuals to transform Bangladesh into a model state.
The inauguration ceremony was presided over by Professor Mahfuzur Rahman, a central Majlis-e-Shura member and Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, Khulna metropolitan city. Among others, city unit Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Najibur Rahman, Secretary Advocate Sheikh Jahangir Hossain Helal, Assistant Secretaries Principal Sheikh Jahangir Alam and Azizul Islam Farazi, city unit of Islami Chhatra Shibir President Arafat Hossain Milon, Secretary Rakib Hasan, Maulana Sheikh Waliullah, Iqbal Hossain, and Meem Miraj Hossain were present and spoke on the occasion.
