Protesting against a Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) statement, leaders of Islami Andolan Bangladesh have accused the organization of using words like ‘fundamentalist’ and ‘sectarian’ to re-divide the nation. They called on the executive director of TIB to apologize and withdraw the statement.
On Tuesday (October 1), the party’s Assistant Secretary General and Dhaka Metropolitan North President Principal Hafez Maulana Sheikh Fazle Bari Masood and Secretary Maulana Muhammad Ariful Islam made this call in a statement.
They said TIB is a high quality institution. Its management body has international quality people. But the executive director of TIB. We are surprised to see the wording of the statement published in the media in the name of Iftekharuzzaman. After the July revolution of 2024, at the beginning of the construction of ‘new Bangladesh’, using words like ‘fundamentalist’ and ‘sectarian’, is it absurd to try to create division among the people of the country? We strongly condemn and protest their narrow mindedness. Conspiracy to divide the nation anew by using words like ‘fundamentalist’, ‘sectarian’ will be thwarted.
TIB’s executive director’s statement regarding the abolition of the text book revision and revision committee is an attempt to denigrate the ulama, the watchman of the nation, the voice of the hardworking people. Director of TIB immediately. Iftekharuzzaman should retract his statement and apologize to the Ulama and the nation.
