Amini threatens to paralyse nation if women policy executed

Leaders of Islamic Law Implementation Committee (ILIC) yesterday threatened to paralyse the country if the government does not scrap what they termed as 'anti Islamic provisions' in the National Women Development Policy (NWDP) 2008.
Led by Islami Oikya Jote's Fazlul Huq Amini, ILIC leaders declared a three-point programme including a rally at city's Paltan maidan on July 18 to press for their demand.
"The caretaker government won't survive if they implement this anti-Islamic law," Fazlul Huq Amini told the ILLC representatives from across the country who attented the conference at the Engineers Institute in the city.
He called on the armed forces to withdraw its support from the government, saying that the present government couldn't last if the armed forces withdraw their support.
The radical leader at one stage of his speech termed those who support NGO's as non-Muslims (kafer). He sought pledges from his followers to be ready to sacrifice their lives to 'save' the holy Quran.
Others termed the advisers non-Muslims for having formulated NWDP.
Muhiuddin Khan, senior vice-president of a faction of Islami Oikkya Jote, said that his faction was ready to sacrifice anything to press for their demands.
ILIC will hold seminars and meetings at district headquarters to mobilise public support against the NWDP.
