A group of Bangladeshis in the United States have written to Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres to stop the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Bangladesh National Party’s (BNP) “killers, arson terrorists, saboteurs and anti-national forces” who want to disrupt democracy, development, human rights and national security of Bangladesh.
“Our humble request to you to please stop the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Bangladesh National Party’s (BNP) killers, arson terrorists, saboteurs and anti-national forces who want to disrupt the democracy, development, human rights and national security of Bangladesh,” they wrote in a letter.
In this continuation of development, they said, when Bangladesh needs political stability, the “anti-independence” BNP, Jamaat and their allies are trying to undermine the rights of the people of the country, the letter said.
They said, “BNP, Jamaat want to come to power by creating anarchy through vandalism and arson attacks across the country in the name of blockade,” reports UNB.
Recently, a lot of fake news have been circulating both on social media as well as traditional media concerning the 2024 quota reform protests in Bangladesh and subsequent government actions, they mentioned.
The letter was submitted jointly by a number of organisations including the US Awami League and Bangladesh Liberation War Veterans 1971, US.
US Awami League leader Dr Pradip R Kar handed over the letter. The letter was received by an official at the UN Headquarters.
Protesting the BNP-Jamaat mayhem, a rally was also held on July 29.
