New Freedom Fighters Organization :Under Attack From Unscrupulous newspapers and politicians
A campaign has started against the new Islamic oriented freedom fighter organization which has been formed by the freedom fighters who have been frustrated by the secularism, political bias and anti-Islamic agenda of the other freedom fighter organizations. Recently this new organization called Jatiya Muktojoddha Parishad (National Freedom Fighters Organisation ) has organized itself in the whole country. It held a national conference in Dhaka recently and it was attempted to be disrupted by some agent provocateurs which the organization has refuted in detail through news paper advertisement. The campaign against it has been spearheaded by left and unscrupulous newspapers and a few TV channels. Their line of argument is that the organizers beat a freedom fighter and that it is an organization “ backed by Jamaat ”. Leaders of Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) yesterday demanded immediate ban on Jamaat-backed Jatiya Muktijoddha Parishad backed by anti-liberation forces Jamaat-Shibir.The Jamaat-Shibir men committed heinous crime by assaulting a freedom fighter for seeking trial of war criminals, the CPB leaders said at a daylong council of Rajshahi District CPB at Public Library Auditorium. We are surprised at the campaign. it is true that tens of thousands of freedom fighters are now workers of Jamaate Islami because they want Islamic not secularist order in the country. It is not their offence, they have right to join any lawful party. Despite that this organization has in its midst Islamists of many groups , not only jammate Islami.Their demand is national unity, progress of Bangladesh, saving the independence from aggressive forces around and resist all biased and divisive activities of others in the name of freedom struggle. We thin their program is fine and all biased quarters should stop their false and undemocratic propaganda.
