Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka City South protested and condemned over the extremely derogatory remarks made by ruling-BJP politicians in India against Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, a largest Islamists’ political party in the country, joined the chorus of condemnation against the two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party officials over their remarks.
Several thousands of Jamaat Dhaka City South activists and leaders paraded the different city street which was started at the capital’s Jatrabari area on Wednesday.
The procession was led by Jamaat Dhaka City South secretary Dr Shafiqul Islam Masud.
City assistant secretaries advocate Helal Uddin,Delwar Hossain, Kamal Hossain and Dr. Abdul Mannan, city working committee members Abdus Salam, Abdur Rahman and Mubarak Hossain, among others, were present at the function.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Indonesia, Jordan, Iraq, the Maldives, Bahrain and Turkiye are among the countries where the Indian politicians’ comments have been condemned. There has also been widespread condemnation within India as well.
Speaking at the protest rally, Dr Masud said that the derogatory comments on Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made by India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and the party’s Delhi branch media chief Naveen Jindal have insulted the heart of the entire Muslim Ummah.
Terming that the Prophet’s honor was more valuable than every Muslim’s life, he also said “As a result, the entire Muslims world cannot tolerate the slightest disrespect to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)”.
The BJP government is threatening the world by creating communal riots while the communal party is a threat not only to the world but also to India itself, he stated.
“We, as a part of the Muslim Ummah, are extremely angry and distressed as the ruling Awami League government has not yet protested officially even though various countries of the world have protested against the hatred and insult towards our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)”, he stressed.
“We called upon the Bangladesh government, as one of largest Muslim states in the world, to immediately pass a resolution condemning it in the National Assembly and summoning the Indian Ambassador, he said.
Bangladesh as the state must strongly condemn and protest against this insult against our most beloved prophet Muhammad (peach be upon him), he added.
