Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called upon the Alem-Ulema and Sufis of the country to build a public opinion against those, who kill and torture people.
She also advised them to preaching the essence of Islam alongside with creating awareness against violence.
"The people are the source of all power. So I urge the Alem-Ulema and Sufis to create a public opinion so that the misdeeds of those who kill and torture people being human beings are stopped side by side with preaching the essence of Islam," she said.
The PM made the call while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the International Sufi Conference 2015 at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital on Saturday.
Bangladesh Tariqat Federation (BTF) arranged the day-long conference, the first of its kind in Bangladesh, with the slogan---"Sufi idealism is only way to global peace."
Islamic scholars from home and abroad including India, Germany, England, Russia and Bangladesh joined the conference.
Terming Islam as the religion of peace and humanity, the PM said it is a matter of misfortune that a rampage is taking place in Bangladesh now where human beings kill human beings.
She said the innocent people irrespective of women and children are burnt to death through petrol bombs in the name of so-called movement, and a panic is being created through it.
"I don't know whether those who are unleashing such types of atrocities on the common people believe in Islam, or have been derailed from it," she said.
Sheikh Hasina said BNP-Jamaat does politics in the name of Islam. "But I feel extreme pain when see that holy mosques were not spared from their destructive acts."
"There is nothing heinous act than torching mosque and it is BNP-Jamaat nexus which dishonoured the holy Quran by torching the holy book. They burnt hundreds of copies of Quran, and there is no history in Islam that such a huge number of the holy books were torched," she said.
The premier said when Bangladesh was advancing towards development and prosperity, when the people were living in peace and comfort and their confidence was restored, all of a sudden the BNP-Jamaat engaged in killing-spree without any reason.
She said BNP-Jamaat clique is killing innocent people brutally by pouring petrol. "It is my question that what crimes the people committed and what achievements the BNP-Jamaat wants to earn through such heinous act," she said.
