More about RU Islamist teacher's past

STAFF CORRESPONDENT, Rajshahi
More 'misdeeds' of Rajshahi University teacher Dr Asadullah Al Galib and the extent of his political clout are coming to light after arrested Islamist revolutionaries in their statements last week had alleged his links with Islamist militant outfits.
For instance, after Asadullah had been expelled from Tawhid Trust in 2002, a gang of his followers besieged the office of the registrar of Joint Stock Company (JSC) in Dhaka to obtain by force a document certifying him as ameer of the trust.
The aggressive move was reportedly aimed at retaining Asadullah's control over some foreign-funded projects of the trust, a front organi

sation of Ahle Hadith Andolon Bangladesh.
Earlier on January 6, 2002, six members of the eight-member board of Tawhid Trust expelled Asadullah, cancelling his post as its ameer as well as his general membership, for financial misdeeds. Two cases for misappropriating Tk 29 lakh from the trust's fund were also filed against him.
Challenging the expulsion, Asadullah filed a case with the court of Rajshahi Sadar senior assistant judge, who forwarded it to Dhaka. The case is still under trial.
In a letter to the commissioner of Rajshahi City Corporation Ward 28 on June 2002, the authorities of Hadith Foundation, another organisation hatched by Asadullah's, claimed him to be the legal ameer of Tawhid Trust. The letter came following a show-cause notice from the commissioner amid allegations of creating unrest in the area.
The letter said the office of the JSC registrar did not accept the claims of others to be the ameer and office bearers of the trust, which were against its constitution.
'Yet, three ministers -- Barrister Aminul Haque, Ruhul Kuddus Dulu and Barkatullah Bulu -- and the registrar of Joint Stock Company are trying to resolve the dispute," the letter added.
After 10 months of the expulsion, on October 17, 2002, at 9:00am, a band of around 60 men descended on the JSC office and told the officials to furnish them with a document certifying Asadullah as the ameer of Tawhid Trust.
As they denied, the besiegers threatened them to do it brandishing arms. They continued the siege until 3:00pm, sources said.
In a general diary filed with Motijheel Police Station, the personal assistant to the registrar, KMA Nahar, said, "They [the JSC officials] were compelled to provide them [attackers] with the document after office hours to protect official goods and lives."
Later, the then registrar, Joint Secretary NM Ponir Uddin Haider, cancelled the certificate delivered under threats.
