DHAKA, May 21, 2021 (BSS) – A court here today placed an active member of banned militant outfit Ansar-al-Islam on a two-day remand in a case lodged under the anti-terror act.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nivana Khayer Jessy passed the order as police produced Md Soiabur Rahman Kawser, 21, before the court and pleaded to place him on a five-day remand.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Kawser from Mohammadpur Tazmahal Road Eidgah Math area on Thursday night. RAB seized jihadi books, leaflets and a mobile phone from his possession.
Later the case was filed with Mohammadpur Police Station.
The combined Islamic education board of Qawmi madrasas yesterday decided that the teachers and students of Qawmi madrasas will stay away from all sorts of political activities.
The government-recognised board, Al Hayatul Ulaya Lil Jamiatul Qaumia, made the final decision at a meeting at a madrasa in the capital s Jatrabari area with board Chairman Maulana Mahmudul Hasan in the chair, it said in a statement.
Meanwhile, police claimed that top Hefajat leader Mamunul Haque has close links with a Pakistani militant outfit. The Hefajat joint secretary general, now on police remand, allegedly developed the links through his brother-in-law Mufti Niamatullah during his Pakistan visit in 2005.
The central committee of the Qawmi madrasa-based Hefajat-e Islam has been dissolved.
The announcement was made last night by the Islamist outfit s Amir, Junayed Babunagari, through a 1.24-minute video message. The committee has been dissolved on advice of some important members of the central committee, he said in the message from Hathazari madrasa in Chattogram.
The Hefajat amir also said the organisation would run its activities through a convening committee in the coming days.
Hefajat has been under tremendous pressure from the government to restructure its central committee by removing from it those leaders involved in last month s mayhem in different parts of the country, several leaders of the outfit told this newspaper.
