Matiur Rahman Akanda criticizes Daily Janakantha for publishing false and concocted news against Jamaat-e-Islami

Central Publicity Affairs Secretary of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and party’s central executive committee member Matiur Rahman Akanda has issued the following statement on 24 October 2020 protesting and gainsaying the fake and concocted news titled “জামায়াতের ভয়ঙ্কর পরিকল্পনা” (Jamaat’s heinous blueprint design) published in Daily Janakantha.

The news titled “জামায়াতের ভয়ঙ্কর পরিকল্পনা” (Jamaat’s heinous blueprint design) which is published in Daily Janakantha is completely false. The reports accused Jamaat of hatching conspiracy of causing nationwide terrorism and anarchy. But these baseless allegations are nothing but a part of the extensive conspiracy against Jamaat-e-Islami. The report at one point claimed that Jamaat-Shibir are desperate to mobilize the militants and these two organizations are mulling to create disturbance in the country by engaging the militant and the terrorists. This report has exposed the perverted mentality of the concerned reporter.

We want to assert that Jamaat is an ideological and systematic democratic party. Jamaat do not believe in terrorism and militancy. Jamaat never asks its people to get in other parties. Jamaat has become a popular organization due to its welfare activities and simultaneously by upholding the true beauties of Islam. A vested quarter has been continuously criticizing Jamaat-e-Islami to tarnish the image of this organization. Amid this critical and vulnerable organization, this section is intentionally making propaganda against Jamaat to divert the public attention.

I am urging the authorities of Daily Janakantha to be refrained from publishing such intentional, concocted, false and misleading report against Jamaat-e-Islami in future.
