Jamaat Ameer demands release of Maulana Abdus Subhan, Allama Sayedee and Azharul Islam before Eid-ul-Azha

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Ameer Maqbul Ahmad has issued the following statement on 19th August, 2017 demanding the release of Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nayeb-e-Ameer and former parliament member Maulana Muhammad Abdus Subhan, Nayeb-e-Ameer, Ex-lawmaker and renowned Islamic scholar and preacher Allama Delwar Hossain Sayedee and party’s Assistant Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam before the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha.

“Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nayeb-e-Ameer and former parliament member Maulana Muhammad Abdus Subhan, Nayeb-e-Ameer, Ex-lawmaker and renowned Islamic scholar and preacher Allama Delwar Hossain Sayedee and party’s Assistant Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam has been behind the bar for last 6/7 years as they became the worst victim of government’s political vengeance. Their families, relatives and the members and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami are deeply worried about them.

Maulana Abdus Subhan is a veteran political figure. He has been suffering from various old age complications. He has been elected Member of Parliament from Pabna town constituency for 5 times and served the locals massively. Allama Delwar Hossain Sayedee is a renowned speaker of Quranic interpretation. He was also elected Parliament Member from Pirojpur-1 constituency for two times. As the public representative, he conducted huge development works in those areas. He has been suffering from diabetes, cardiac diseases and many other health complicacies. Maulana Abdus Subhan, Allama Delwar Hossain Sayedee and ATM Azharul Islam, all of them played uncompromised and proactive role in the anti-autocracy movement in order to establish democracy and also to secure voting rights of the people. They are imprisoned now in connection with some false and politically motivated cases. The fellow citizens of the country want their immediate release.

In this backdrop, I am urging the concerned authorities to release Maulana Abdus Subhan, Allama Delwar Hossain Sayedee and ATM Azharul Islam even before the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha so that they can observe this holy occasion in a free atmosphere along with their families and relatives.”
