Awami League must explain the nature of its relationship with Awami Olama League which has recently demanded a ban on Bangla New Year celebrations, an anti-communal platform has said.
They demanded that leaders of the Islamist group be arrested for making communal comments, said the speakers at a discussion organised at the Dhaka University on Monday.
“Olama League, a rootless organisation, is
cheating people by using Awami League’s identity. They can now do their work with relative ease,” said Abed Khan, convener of an alliance against militancy and communalism.
“Police can get in the way of programmes of political parties, so why shouldn’t they stop an organisation that calls for programmes that go against the government and the nation.”
The Islamist outfit formed a human chain on Saturday to ask the government to cut down funding for Pahela Baishakh celebrations and divert the money to festivals like Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi instead.
