Nizami sees opposition link
Unb, Dhaka
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Industries Minister Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami condemned yesterday's deadly bombings, saying that the outrageous incidents seem to be linked with the Awami League-led opposition movement designed to prove Bangladesh as a dysfunctional state."Target of these bomb blasts is to break up the ruling alliance, discredit the government and create a situation so that BNP considers Jamaat as liability... The beneficiary of these blasts is the Awami League, not the alliance," he said talking to the UNB. In reply to a question, Nizami said those who are exploding bombs and killing people in the name of religion are basically derailed and acting as puppets in the hands of the enemies of Islam. Asked about the strength of the misguided Islamist militants, he said, "I don't have any idea about that, but I don't think they are that powerful to make the country collapse." He said the way some newspapers have been saying that the JMB has 50,000 to one lakh activists may not be correct. The arrested son-in-law of Shaikh Abdur Rahman said they have 1,500 operatives.
