as soon as sheikh hasina left bangladesh banned islamist groups became super active

Professor Najmul Ahsan Kalimullah, Professor of Public Administration Department of Dhaka University, admitted that Islamic groups have gained more freedom in Bangladesh after Sheikh Hasina left the country. Speaking to ANI, Kalimullah said that many banned Islamic organizations are active in Bangladesh and are also holding press conferences. Absolutely. You know, Islamists, they have been successful in making a big place in the public sector. Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has strengthened its position. Hifazat-e-Islam movement has become stronger. Persons like Peer of Charmoni have gained prominence. Even Hizb-Ut-Tahrir is an illegal organization, but they are visible. They are bringing pamphlets, posters and are waving their flags in different places, marching on the streets, even calling a press conference.

Therefore, this organization is not yet a legal unit and its media coordinator is behind bars. Therefore, there is still an official ban but in reality they are working. Referring to the incident of the mob to ransacked the residence of Bangladesh founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Kalimullah said that the crowd was seen waving flags and putting posters there. On the unfortunate day of 5 February, in Road No. 32, Sheikh was seen waving flags and putting posters on the wall in Mujib’s residence.

According to the report of Dhaka Tribune, the mob vandalized Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence. In the scenes, flames appeared on a floor of the house. The Dhaka Tribune quoted the UNB as saying that the protesters raided the campus after breaking the gate, demanding a ban on the Awami League, which caused widespread destruction. The local media connected the protest to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s online speech.
