Pabna, February 12, (V7N) – Mufthi Allama Mamunul Haque, Amir of Bangladesh Khilafat Majlis, said, “The spirit of the Liberation War of 1971 was hijacked with the creation of the 1972 Constitution. Not only was it hijacked, but efforts were made to distort the spirit of 1971 and establish a fake ideology through the 1972 Constitution.”
 
He made this remark while addressing the public rally organized by Bangladesh Khilafat Majlis, Pabna district branch, on Tuesday (February 11) afternoon at the Government Edward College grounds in Pabna. The rally aimed to create public awareness to protest the atrocities of the past and the opposition to anarchy.
 
Mamunul Haque further commented, “People who speak against the distorted ideology of 1972 are being labeled as anti-independence forces. Under the leadership of the past fascist government, a deep conspiracy was carried out to divide Bangladesh and halt the country's progress.”
 
“Through plundering the country's resources and rendering it economically crippled, Sheikh Hasina has fled the country. Her intention was to prevent Bangladesh from standing tall on the global stage. The root cause of this was her politics of revenge against the people of Bangladesh,” he added.
 
He also issued a warning to neighboring India, saying, “By providing refuge to the absconding accused Sheikh Hasina, India has stabbed the relationship with the people of Bangladesh in the back. But sitting there, if Sheikh Hasina conspires against the people of Bangladesh, the people of Bengal will not tolerate it.”
 
He continued, “On February 5, while sitting on Indian soil, Sheikh Hasina used that country's technology to make vengeful statements, causing unrest in Bangladesh. The instability sparked by her remarks has created a new wave of unrest in the country. The responsibility for this does not lie solely with Sheikh Hasina and her party, the Awami League, but also with the Indian state.”
 
The rally was presided over by Mufthi Ali Ullah, President of Bangladesh Khilafat Majlis, Pabna District Branch. Among others who spoke at the event were Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmad, General Secretary of the Central Committee, Maulana Ataullah Amin, Joint General Secretary, Maulana Abul Hasanat Jalali, Organizational Secretary, Maulana Fazlur Rahman, Baitul Mal Secretary, Maulana Mohammad Ali, General Secretary of Pabna District Branch, and Maulana Shibli Hasan, President of Bangladesh Khilafat Youth Majlis, Pabna Branch.
