Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Sunday urged all to remain alert about those who create chaos and anarchy misusing Islam and tarnishing the spirit of the great religion.
“Those who carry out killing in the name of Islam, cut tendons of human beings, are not friends of Islam rather they are enemies of Islam,” he said while virtually addressing as the special guest a grand peace rally and procession at the Suhrawardy Udyan.
Anjuman -E- Rahmania Mainia Maizbhandaria arranged the program on the occasion of the holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi.
Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, said Islam was not established in Bangladesh through any war. But many people talk against Oli-Akram as they are actually the creators of anarchy, he mentioned.
Awami League Advisory Council Member and 14-party alliance spokesperson Amir Hossain Amu addressed it as the chief guest while Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque and State Minister for Religious Affairs Faridul Haque Khan spoke as special guests.
Information minister said none or no government did so many works for Islam like the one led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
As many as 100,000 mosque-based moqtabs have been established in Bangladesh under the directive of the premier and teachers of the religious education centres are getting monthly Tk5,200 allowance, he said.
Some 600 mosques have been established and are being built and those mosques are very charming, he added.
Hasan said recognition of Qawmi Madrasa enables students of these educational institutions to get government jobs.
Eid-e-Miladunnabi, the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, is a day of joy for the Muslims all over the world, he said.
He wished Almighty Allah removes persecution of Muslims all over the world including Palestine and Rohingya can return to their homeland Myanmar with full rights.
