Google Alert – BD Army
Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ) chairman Mufti Fazlul Huq Aminee on Monday alleged that machination is on to destroy the army in the name of searching out fundamentalist elements in it, reports UNB.
“Sheikh Hasina does not want army in the country. But, if the army is destroyed, everything of Sheikh Hasina will also be ruined,” he said at a discussion at his party’s temporary office at Lalbagh in the capital.
Aminee also alleged that the BDR carnage was staged in a planned way to make Bangladesh subservient to India. “This is the act of India,” he said.
The IOJ chief said a time might come when this people would be slaves of India, if the unreasonable activities of the government are tolerated.
“I hope Sheikh Hasina will seek apology to alem-ulama for her activities. I have heard ministers and MPs were already sent to Islamic scholars for seeking apology,” he said.
Referring to the Prime Minister’s remarks that Khaleda Zia is trying to capture power by using the army, Aminee said that all the time army came to power by keeping guns on the shoulder of the people; how Khaleda will come to power by resting guns on the shoulder of the army. “This is Hasina’s childish remarks,” he added.
About journalist couple Sagar-Runi murder, he said primarily it seemed as a small incident; but later on it appeared as a big event. Now efforts are on to create the story of another ‘Joj’ Mia. “Truth will be revealed by the next government.”
IOJ secretary general Maulana Abdul Latif Nizami said Sagar and Runi were killed as they had tried to protect the country’s natural gas. The conspiracy of killing the journalist couple was cooked up in America, he alleged.
He demanded the withdrawal of restriction on free movement of Mufti Aminee by April 4; otherwise, they threatened to build up mass movement.
