Staff Reporter :
Some Islamist parties of the country have announced to besiege the Myanmar embassy in the city on Monday protesting the killing and torture of Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine state.
The announcement came from a protest rally
organized mainly by Hefazat-e-Islami Bangladesh with the support of some Islamist parties, in front of north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque after Jumma prayers on Friday.
“The people of this country are ready to participate in a war against Myanmar, if the Bangladesh government would lead it, for conducting killings and repression on the Rohingya Muslims,” Secretary General of Hefazat-e-Islami Bangladesh Junaid Babunagri said.
Urging the government to clear its stance over Rohingya issue, leaders of Hefazat-e-Islami threatened to create a situation like 5th May’s Shapla Chattar again, if the repression on the Muslims is not stopped.
They also urged the people to boycott goods of Myanmar, saying that Myanmar authorities are torturing people in Arakan like the days of Feraun.
Apart from Hefazat-e-Islami, some other Islamist parties organized the rally followed by a procession in front of Baitul Mukarram Mosque where several thousand musallies took part. The other parties include Islami Andolon Bangladesh, Khleafat Majlish and some Islamist parties.
Meanwhile, special prayers and munajat were offered after Jumma prayers at the mosques across the country over the same issue yesterday.  
Earlier, the Islamist parties had organized countrywide demonstrations on September 11 and besieged Myanmar embassy in Dhaka on September 13. They also distributed relief materials among the Rohingya refugees in different parts of Cox’s Bazar on September 12.
Protesting the brutal killings by the Myanmar army, the Islamist parties also threatened to take tough programmes, if repression on the Rohingya Muslims eas not stopped immediately.
