DHAKA, Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB) has strongly crticised Transparency International (TIB) Executive Director Dr Iftekharuzzaman for using words like ‘Fundamentalist and Communal’ in a recent statement, claiming that use of such words would create division in the society.
In a statement IAB assistant secretary general and also the president of its Dhaka north city unit Principal Hafez Maulana Sheikh Gazle Bari Masud and its north city unit secretary Maulana Muhammad Ariful Islam said conspiracy to divide the nation by using the words ‘fundamentalist’ and ‘communal’ must be stopped.
They said TIB Executive Director’s statement on cancellation of the textbook revision committee is an attempt to malign the country’s Alem-Ulama.
TIB is an institution of high standards and the people working there are also highly qualified, but at the beginning of building “New Bangladesh” after the July revolution-2024, the use of words like ‘fundamentalist’, ‘communal’, is not acceptable as it would create division among the people of the country.
They also urged TIB executive director to retract his statement and seek apologize to the Alem-Ulema and the nation as well.
