-Maulana ATM Masum

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Acting Secretary General Maulana ATM Masum has issued the following statement on 18 February, 2022 protesting and condemning the latest incident of filing false and intentional case against veteran citizen and the Chairman of Gano Shasthaya Kendra Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury.

While addressing a program organized by National Democratic Party (NDF) on last 2nd February at the National press club, Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury had stated that, “Prime Minister has committed a mistake in conducting the trial of crimes against humanity. In this trial procedures, Abdul Quader Molla was portrayed as Butcher Kader and subsequently executed to death. But Abdul Quader Molla was involved with Chhatra Union (A left wing student organization) in 1971. He also mentioned the name of two ruling party ministers who were also involved with this organization during those days. So, trial against Abdul Quader Molla was not accurate. The tribunal also made a mistake in the trial of Allama Sayedee. The allegations, which were brought against Sayedee were not authentic as well.

Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury actually revealed a portion of truth. But the government cannot tolerate it. We are condemning the false case which has been filed against Dr. Zafrullah. The case was lodged only to harass him. I am urging the concerned authorities to withdraw this false case immediately.”
