The Dhaka Times Desk Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has called a morning-evening hartal across the country on Monday to protest against the death warrant of Jamaat leader Quader Molla, who was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity.
Acting Secretary General of the party on Sunday evening. Shafiqur Rahman called this strike in a statement. He said in the statement, "Issuing and executing the death warrant of Jamiat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Abdul Quader Mollah will be a political murder." Morning and evening hartal will be observed across the country tomorrow, Monday, in protest against the filing of this death warrant."
Meanwhile, when the copy of the judgment given by the Supreme Court was sent to the International Criminal Tribunal, the accused Quader Mollah was sent to prison after issuing a death warrant.
In the meantime, there have been reports of vandalism in various parts of the country, including Dhaka, on the call of the strike called by the Jamaat on Monday. A bus was set on fire in front of DC Market in the capital, but no casualty was reported. Clashes between Jamaat workers and police were reported in Vijayanagar at around 9 pm, where cocktails were hurled at the police.
Cocktails were also thrown in front of Rupsa Community Center on Green Road in the capital and a pedestrian was injured there. Also, a pickup van is set on fire in Tongi, and 4 cocktails are cracked in quick succession!
The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islam party, whose registration was recently canceled due to anti-humanity activities in 1971, fears that the death sentence of Jamaat leader Quader Mollah, accused of anti-humanity activities in 1971, may be implemented at any time.
