| [Dhaka Tribune] Salafist platform Hefajat-e-Islam ...a madrassa-based false nose and mustache of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, formed in 2010 to protest against secular education. In 2011 demonstrated violentyly against women's rights and in 2013 held large rallies demanding capital punishment of Shahbag Square protesters and banning women working outside the home... Bangladesh condemned and expressed grave concerns over the cow vigilantism in India. The Qawmi madrasa-based organization claimed the cow vigilantes were actively colluding with the state. The Islamist platform also urged the international community to play a more effective role in protecting the Moslem community in India. Junayed Babunagari, secretary general of Hefajat-e-Islam Bangladesh also urged the government of Bangladesh to convey its concerns to India to cease the "ongoing repression on the Moslem people." The accusations and concerns were delivered via a blurb on Thursday. The Hefazat leader referred to one of BJP’s election slogans "Vote for Modi, give life to the cow," while highlighting the fact that India is among the two largest beef-exporting countries in the world, the other being Brazil. "India meets 25% of the global beef demand and earns $4bn from it. Regrettably, the Indian government is trying to control the people’s diet," complained Babunagari. "Moslems are sadly becoming victims of cow vigilantism in India. Indian politicians believing in ’Hindutva’ are inciting violence against Moslems," Babunagari lamented. |
