Following a Facebook photo-card in which Jamaat leader Dr. Syed Abdullah Md. Taher is quoted as saying he hopes India will intervene — claiming such an intervention would erase the “stigma” imposed in 1971 and allow Jamaat to prove itself as a true freedom fighter — the president of the student front strongly condemned the remarks.
The student leader said those who, out of fear of “killer Hasina,” spent the past 15½ years sheltering under the ruling party’s flag and serving as campus enforcers have now been publicly mocked by their former parent organization. He criticized the organization’s top leaders for continuing to coordinate with the Awami League even after some of their leaders were executed, and for having little to no visible record of dissent against “killer Hasina” on social media or police records during the last 15½ years.
“This is a cruel mockery of the struggle and sacrifices we made over the past 15½ years,” he said, condemning Taher’s comments as reckless and offensive.
