Jamaat was behind Galib's arrest, says Ahab
Our Correspondent, Satkhira
Acting Ameer of Ahle Hadith Andolon, Bangladesh (Ahab) Dr Musleh Uddin Ahmed yesterday alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami, a key partner in the ruling coalition, provoked the government to arrest Ahab chief Dr. Asadullah Al Galib to cover up its links with militant outfits. Denying allegations of Ahab's links with banned Jamaatul Mujahideen, Bangladesh (JMB) and other militant groups, he demanded unconditional release of Galib and other Ahab leaders. "If Galib and three other central Ahab leaders are not released immediately, over three crore members of Ahab will not excuse BNP-Jamaat government. They (Ahab men) will teach the government a good lesson in the next general election", he said. He was addressing a rally at Kalaroa High School ground, organised by Kalaroa upazila unit of Ahab with its advisor Prof Md Nazrul Islam was in the chair. Election victory of the two major parties (BNP Jamat) in many constituencies depends on our support, Musleh Uddin said. He said Jamaat is gaining strength at the cost of BNP but its (BNP) leaders are yet to realise this. He claimed that BNP will suffer a crushing defeat in the next election for 'torturing' Muslim scholars. Jamaat is hatching conspiracy against Ahab fearing its increasing public support, he claimed.
