'Jamaat has link with int'l extremist networks'
UNB, Dhaka
Former State Minister for Information and Awami League leader Prof Abu Sayeed yesterday said that Jamaat-e-Islami itself is an "extremist and fundamentalist" organisation and it has link with international extremist networks. Abu Sayeed in a statement yesterday said "Jamaat is the main patroniser of the extremist and fundamentalist forces in the country. Earlier on Monday, Jamaat at a press conference claimed they don't have relation with any extremist force." "Even a few days back, Jamaat said there is no existence of any fundamentalist group or organisation in the country. But now they are saying that they have no relations with any fundamentalist group," he said. Many arrested militants in the recent times have confessed that they have links with Jamaat-e-Islami, he said. The leaders of organisations like Jamatul Mujahideen, Harkatul Jihad, AL-Khidmat and Jamaa Atul are cadres of Jamaat, he added.
