Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu said the reports on link between Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress and Jamaat-e-Islami, was a matter of grave concern both for Bangladesh and the West Bengal.
He said the ongoing terrorist and militant activities in the country have international links and that is also an alarming issue for the entire world.
The minister made the statement while addressing a party meeting at Faizullapur under Veramara upazila of Kushtia district yesterday morning.
Regarding the reports on All India Trinamool Congress’s involvement in funding Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh, he said: “The news of Jamaat’s terrorist camps in West Bengal under Mamata Banarjee’s government is a matter of grave concern both for us and India. But, we have an agreement with India over trans-border terrorism.”
“The issue drew attention of our government and we are trying to stop cross border terror acts,” Inu said.
Inu alleged that the leaders of the western world talked about the eradication of global terrorism but they overlooked militant activities in Bangladesh. “Moreover, they sit with Khaleda Zia. This is really disappointing.”
Inu urged the world leaders to ask Khaleda Zia to severe “ties” with militants and war criminals, “if they are sincere about the fight against terrorism.”
