Dumuria: General Secretary of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Professor Mia Golam Parwar, today accused Sheikh Hasina of proving herself as a criminal by fleeing Bangladesh. Parwar made these comments while addressing an activist’s conference held at Dumuria College premises.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Parwar, who is also a former lawmaker, urged Hasina to prepare for trial regarding the killings that occurred during her regime, including those related to the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement. This movement, he claimed, compelled her to flee to a neighboring country. The conference was organized by the Dumuria Upazila unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, with its Ameer Maulana Mukhter Hussain presiding over the event.
Parwar highlighted that hundreds of people, mainly university and college students, were killed during the July-August uprising, a violent protest aimed at ousting Hasina, who had governed Bangladesh for the last 16 years. He asserted that under the Awami League, nothing is safe,
particularly democracy, freedom of speech, media, and the rights of workers in the country.
“We seek justice for all the killings, including those of our Jamaat-e-Islami leaders and activists. This has been one of the primary demands of our revolution,” Parwar stated. He noted that over 200 cases of killings have been filed against Hasina nationwide. He insisted that she must face trial before the International Crime Tribunal, where death sentences were previously given to front-ranking leaders such as Maulana Motiur Rahman Nizami and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed following what he described as “false trials.”
The conference also featured speeches from other prominent figures, including Central Working Committee member and assistant director of Khulna regional Jamaat Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, as well as central Majlis-e-Sura member and district unit of Jamaat Ameer Maulana Emran Hossain. The event concluded with a rally through significant streets, ending at the Dumuria Upazila premises.
