Hijbut holds meeting under police protection
They threatened to launch a movement against the government branding them as brokers of capitalist powers.
Hijbut joint coordinator Kazi Morshedul Haque, senior member Ahmed Zamal Iqbal, members Moniruzzaman Masud and Masud Kausar addressed the meeting, among others.
Some 10 Hijbut men including Iqbal, Moniruzzaman and Kausar were arrested on September 18 but released two weeks later as police said they did not find anything to sue them.
Police were deployed at Rajshahi Chambers of Commerce and Industries auditorium where the discussion was held.
Around 50 Hijbut members and their supporters took part in the discussion.
The speakers said launching movement against the ‘present rulers is mandatory for Muslims as they implement secularism, instead of Islamic political ideologies’.
They said Islam prefers Khelafat as a system to rule as it is free from the weaknesses of existing ruling system.
They said, people witnessed democratic, autocratic, military and emergency rules in last 37 years. These are same types of government which are implementing agenda of other countries.
