‘If the government does not increase vigilance over certain Qawmi madrasas, their online activists and bloggers, the IS may take the chance for hatching conspiracy to intensify militancy in Bangladesh’
Speakers at roundtable yesterday said a section of youths of Bangladesh were trying to establish network with the members of Islamic State (IS) through internet with an aim to spread militancy in the country.
“If the government does not increase vigilance over certain Qawmi madrasas, their online activists and bloggers, the IS may take the chance for hatching conspiracy to intensify militancy in Bangladesh,” Mosaheb Uddin Bokhtiar, the member secretary of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, said at Chittagong Press Club.
He said the online activists and bloggers linked with Qawmi madrasas could easily be misguided by the IS.
In the keynote paper, he said although the IS was a Wahabi-backed militant organisation, the western media and some intellectuals had been trying to tag them as Sunni.
He also claimed that the members of banned Islamist outfit JMB and another named Ansarullah Bangla Team had killed Ahle Sunnat leader Nurul Islam Faruqi.
