Families of martyred intellectuals for ban on Jamaat

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
The families of the martyred intellectuals, who were killed on December 14 in 1971, yesterday demanded a ban on the politics of ruling coalition partner Jamaat-e-Islami, accusing the party of the killing.
At a meeting with Leader of the Opposition Sheikh Hasina at Awami League office in Dhanmondi, the families said they fear of departing the country if Jamaat is not banned.
Hasina assured them that she would fight against those, who opposed the country's Liberation War, until her death.
The people have understood that Jamaat had killed the intellectuals assuming Pakistani forces' defeat, helped the occupation forces kill, rape and commit all sorts of torture, and is now harbouring militancy in the country, Hasina said.
Hasina, also AL president, told

the families the public now want a ban on fundamental politics.
She said a list of Razakars, Al Badars and those who helped Pakistani forces should be made in every village.
The AL chief said the BNP-Jamaat alliance is distorting and trying to destroy the history of the Liberation War and all the symbols of it.
She accused late president Ziaur Rahman of allowing the fundamental and anti-Liberation War forces in politics.
Hasina urged people of all walks to unite to end 'misrule' of the government, save the country from the evil grip of militancy and uphold democracy and the sprit of the Liberation War.
Anal Raihan, son of eminent filmmaker and journalist Zahir Raihan, said they may depart the country if Jamaat is not banned.
Jahid Reza Noor, son of martyred journalist Sirajuddin Hossain, said the war criminals are now using national flag in their vehicles. He suggested setting up a white plaque in every village with the names of every freedom fighter.
Dr MA Hasan, brother of martyr Lt Monim, said they must identify the anti-Liberation War forces to win the battle against them.
Salma Haque, wife of martyr Dr Azharul Haque, Shyamoli Nasrin Chowdhury, wife of martyr Dr Alim Chowdhury, and Zebunnesa Hashem, wife of martyr Prof Abul Hashem Miah, demanded a ban on Jamaat politics and punishment of the war criminals.
