Ahmadiyyas renew demand for safety

Bigots' plan to capture Satkhira mosque April 17

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Central leaders of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat yesterday at a press conference urged the government for proper safety measures at their Shyamnagar installations in Satkhira following a seizure programme by an extremist Islamic group on April 17.
They expressed serious apprehension and said the government will be responsible for any unwanted situation in the wake of the eviction threat from the bigots of the International Khatme Nabuwat Movement.
The bigots had recently issued a threat to lay siege to the Ahmadiyya FROM PAGE 16
mosque complex at Sundarban Bazar in Jatindranagar village of Shyamnagar upazila on April 17.
"We are justifiably apprehensive from our past experiences that the local administration will prove inadequate to protect the Ahmadiyya community and its establishments from disgrace," Ahmadiyya Jamaat's central missionary Abdul Awal Khan Chowdhury said urging the civil society to come forwards in support of the Ahmadiyyas.
The Ahmadiyya Jamaat has been operative for last 115 years in 178 countries on the basis of international brotherhood, so any assault on it will be considered an international issue, Chowdhury said at the conference held at the community's central office at Bakshi Bazar in Dhaka.
Presenting the Khatme Nabuwat handbill to the newsmen Nayeb Ameer Prof Meer Mobassher Ali said in a written statement, "The threat to the Ahmadiyya community in Satkhira by the fundamentalists has thrown the whole community in Bangladesh into anxiety for a possible collapse of law and order there."
He said, "The law enforcement authorities in Bogra tarnished the image of the country and the government by putting on a signboard undermining the community by the Khatme Nabuwat Movement on March 11."
"So we are taking the matter to the notice of the government five days ahead of the attack," he said.
He called upon the government to launch a proper investigation and legal actions into "all the illegal and unconstitutional activities carried out against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in recent times".
Prof Ali also protested a news item published in a Bangla daily falsely accusing the Ahmadiyyas of an attack in a village in Bogra.
Ahmadiyya Jamaat's General Secretary Kawsar Ali Molla was also present at the conference.
The Khatme Nabuwat activists have been demanding for more than a year that the Ahmadiyyas be declared non-Muslim.
As part of its programmes, the Khatme Nabuwat activists will bring out truck and motorbike processions from Harinagar High School ground on April 16 and lay siege to the Ahmadiyya complex on April 17.
