Noakhali district Jamaat leader arrested; Acting Secretary General condemns

- Maulana ATM Masum

Acting Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Maulana ATM Masum has issued the following statement on 21st Augus, 2022 protesting and condemning the unjustified arrest of former Noakhali district of Jamaat-e-Islami and party’s regional team member Maulana Alauddin.

Police have arrested former Noakhali district of Jamaat-e-Islami and party’s regional team member Maulana Alauddin from his house this noon. Since the incumbent government came to office, they have been harassing and torturing Jamaat leaders and activists in connection with false cases. Maulana Alauddin has been arrested as a part of the government’s conspiracy to weaken Jamaat-e-Islami. I am vehemently protesting and condmening the arrest incident.

The society and the state has been overloaded with misdeeds like corruption, rape, abduction and murder. But paying no heed to those criminal offences, the authority is arresting Jamaat leaders and activists unlawfully instead of resisting those crimes.

I am urging the concerned authorities to release all the detained leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatrashibir including Maulana Alauddin immediately.
