Jamaai-e-Islami Pakistan has urged Muslim world to stop Bangladesh from taking “illegal actions” against Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.
Pakistan Jamaat chief Siraj-ul-Haq made the call on Thursday night, immediately after the demise of ex-Bangladesh Jamaat ameer and convicted war criminal Ghulam Azam.
Mastermind of many notorious war crimes of Bangladesh’s [the then East Pakistan] 1971 Liberation War with Pakistan, the former Jamaat-e-Islami chief died of cardiac arrest at 10:10pm Thursday. He had been suffering from several old age complications.
After the death of the war crimes convict sentenced with 90 years of imprisonment, the organisation mourned for him.
The Pakistan Jamaat party also wished Ghulam Azam heaven at his death, the organization’s official page says.
The chairman of the Pakistan Jamaat said: “Bangladesh government put him [Ghulam Azam] into jail because he stood against Indian conspiracies.
Muslim world should stop Bangladesh from taking illegal actions against Jamat-e-Islami.”
It was wished in the page that God might rest Ghulam Azam in peace and accept his good efforts for the Muslim world.
The page also urged for prayer for Azam from the Muslim world.
Ghulam Azam, the guru of anti-liberation Jamaat-e-Islami, became the symbol of all war criminals of 1971.
He was given 90-year imprisonment by a war crimes tribunal though he deserved death by hanging for committing heinous crimes, the trial court said in its judgement last year.
