Plots afoot to undermine July uprising: Says Mamunul

Chief of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Mamunul Haque yesterday alleged that a conspiracy is gradually taking shape to undermine the July uprising, which he said was achieved through the collective participation of students and general people.

He made the remarks while addressing an election rally of Jamaat-e-Islami at Pirojpur-2 constituency at Government Swarupkathi Model Secondary School field in Nesarabad upazila of Pirojpur around noon.

Khelafat is a part of Jamaat’s 10-party alliance.

Mamunul claimed that all defeated forces have united against the uprising in an attempt to sabotage the achievement that came at the cost of the blood and lives of around 1,500 people.

He  alleged that some individuals lack the moral courage to oppose the July uprising and the referendum openly. “While they publicly call on people to vote in favour of the referendum, they again secretly campaign for a ‘no’ vote,” he said. 

Such hypocrisy has no place in national politics.

Calling for the establishment of an Islamic state in future, he urged voters to cast their ballots in favour of the candidate nominated by the Jamaat-led alliance.

Jamaat candidate for Pirojpur-2, Shameem Sayedee, and his younger brother Masood Sayedee who is running from Pirojpur-1 were present alongside leaders and activists of the party. 

Shameem and Masood are sons of the late Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee who was convicted for war crimes and died serving out his sentence.
