PM reassures religion-based parties
[Bangla Daily Star] The government is working on to single out Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
from other religion-based political parties on the grounds that there is nothing wrong with religion-based parties and that Jamaat has been harbouring the war criminals of 1971.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since 1981. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide...
has personally talked to the top leaders of half a dozen religion-based political parties and assured them of taking all necessary measures to stop discrediting Islam and Hazrat Muhammad (SM).

Meanwhile,
...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind...
a new anti-Jamaat alliance of Islamist parties named as Iman O Desh Rokkhar Andolon has been formed. It will hold a rally in front of Baitul Mokarram Mosque on March 8. The alliance has already declared not to support Jamaat's hartal
... a peculiarly Bangla combination of a general strike and a riot, used by both major political groups in lieu of actual governance ...
today.

Some ministers and leaders of Awami League's different associate bodies have also talked with the leaders of some religion-based parties to this effect, said party insiders.

The talks began on Sunday, two days after the countrywide violence instigated by, what police and intelligence agencies say, Jamaat and student body Islami Chhatra Shibir
... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh...
centring the alleged anti-Islam content in social networks.
