Awami League general secretary Abdul Jalil on Monday alleged that Jamaat-e-Islam is actively involved in recruiting militants from Bangladesh by AL-Qaida with the help of Pakistan intelligence service ISI, reports UNB.

In a statement, the AL general secretary said Jamaat had strong link with Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), a separatist group, which maintains direct connection with Al-Qaida.

“Along Bangladesh-Myanmer border, Shibir cadres receive training under the shelter of international terrorists,” Jalil claimed in his statement.

The AL General Secretary issued the statement in protest against remarks by Jamaat leaders that to dig out information about terrorism, AL leaders, including Sheikh Hasina and Abu Sayeed, should be quizzed, not the Jamaat leaders.

He said Jamaat is providing help to at least 16 fundamentalists outfits active in the country.

Referring to Islami Oikya Jote President Fazlul Haq Amini’s call to raid the Jamaat office, Jalil said Amini’s statement proves that Jamaat has link with terrorist groups.

He said anti-liberation force Jamaat and its allies are delivering inconsistent speeches as their real face has already exposed to the country’s people.

“It’s historically proved that Jamaat is a terrorist party and hatching conspiracy is its habit. They had killed thousands of people and raped over three lakh women in 1971,” said Jalil.

He said Jamaat has indulged in a deep-rooted conspiring since it has been an ally of the ruling BNP to take revenge of their defeat in the Liberation War.

“Jamaat has formed a strong network of terrorists across the country to implement its blueprint to kill the progressive-minded people, including AL leaders and activists,” the AL General Secretary alleged.
