Workers Party blames Jamaat for creating chaotic atmosphere
Workers' Party of Bangladesh (WPB) yesterday alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir are conspiring to create a chaotic atmosphere ahead of parliament election on December 18.
The WPB leaders said Jamaat is hatching a conspiracy through its week-long programme on the eve of the second death anniversary of their party member Rasel Ahmed Khan who was shot dead by Jamaat-Shibir cadres on October 28, 2006.
Almost two years have passed but no cadre of Jamaat-Shibir has been arrested although there were enough evidences, they added.
“A few days back, Jamaat conducted an anti-election campaign demanding the cancellation of Representation of People Order (RPO). Recently, Jamaat's associate Khatame Nabuwat damaged a sculpture at Zia International Airport intersection to divert the people's attention from the parliament election,” said WPB President Rashed Khan Menon at a press conference at its office.
He said Jamaat is planning to implement another conspiracy through its October 22 to 28 programme on the eve of the second death anniversary of Rasel.
Menon urged the caretaker government to stop false propaganda centring the October 28 and maintain congenial electoral atmosphere.
In a keynote paper, WPB General Secretary Bimal Biswas presented five-point demand that included bringing of Jamaat-Shibir cadres to book through proper investigation, withdrawal of the state of emergency and stern action against those who damaged the sculpture.
WPB will hold meeting and rally to commemorate the second death anniversary of Rasel on October 28.
