বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী ওলামা লীগ তাদের কর্মকাণ্ডের জন্য মাঝেমধ্যেই আলোচনায় আসে। আজ (২১ জানুয়ারি) দুপুরে রাজধানীর জাতীয় প্রেসক্লাবের সামনে এক মানববন্ধন করেছে আওয়ামী ওলামা লীগসহ সমমনা ১৩ দল। সেখানে তারা দেশে বাল্যবিয়ে নিরোধে কাজ করা বেসরকারি উন্নয়ন সংস্থা (এনজিও) ও প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোকে নিষিদ্ধ করা, সংখ্যালঘু সুরক্ষা আইন না করাসহ ১৩ দফা দাবি জানিয়েছে।

মানবন্ধনে তারা বলেন, “বাংলাদেশে বিবাহ বা বাল্যবিবাহ নিয়ে এদেশের জনগণ বা সরকারের কোন মাথাব্যথা না থাকলেও পবিত্র দ্বীন ইসলাম ও মুসলিম বিদ্বেষী পশ্চিমা এনজিওগুলোর মাথাব্যথা বেশী। বিশ্বব্যাপী মুসলিম জনসংখ্যা হ্রাসে তারা কথিত সুশীল সমাজ, বুদ্ধিজীবী, মিডিয়া, সরকারের কর্তাব্যক্তিদের পেছনে কোটি কোটি টাকা বিনিয়োগ করছে। সভা সেমিনার, সিম্পোজিয়ামে নিয়ে বাল্যবিবাহের বিরুদ্ধে বলাচ্ছে, মিডিয়ায় লিখাচ্ছে ও প্রশিক্ষণ দিচ্ছে। বিনিময়ে নগদ খাম ধরিয়ে দিচ্ছে। দেশের পারিবারিক মূল্যবোধ ও সামাজিক বন্ধন ধ্বংস, এইডস ছড়ানো, জনসংখ্যা হ্রাস, দেশদ্রোহী হাজারো তৎপরতার সাথে জড়িত এসব এনজিও।”

তারা আরও বলেন, “এসবের মধ্যে রয়েছে, আন্তর্জাতিক সংস্থা টেরেডেস হোমস নেদারল্যান্ডস, নিউইয়র্ক ভিত্তিক প্রোটেকটিং হিউম্যান রাইটস (পিএইচআর), যুক্তরাজ্যভিত্তিক সেভ দ্য চিলড্রেন, ইহুদী স্বার্থ সংরক্ষণকারী ইউনিসেফ, কুখ্যাত ইহুদী জর্জ সরোসের অর্থায়নে পরিচালিত ব্র্যাক। বাল্যবিবাহ নিষিদ্ধ এবং দেশ ও মুসলিম বিরোধী চক্রান্তে লিপ্ত এসব এনজিওদের নিষিদ্ধ করতে হবে। অবিলম্বে বাল্যবিবাহ নিরোধ নামক কুফরি আইন প্রত্যাহার করে নূরে মুজাসসাম, হাবীবুল্লাহ হুযুর পাক ছল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম উনার প্রতি অবমাননার কারণে তাদেরকে মৃত্যুদণ্ড দিতে হবে।”

এ বিষয়গুলো নিয়ে দ্য ডেইলি স্টার অনলাইনের সঙ্গে আওয়ামী ওলামা লীগের সাধারণ সম্পাদক আলহাজ্ব কাজী মাওলানা মো. আবুল হাসান শেখ শরীয়তপুরীর কথা হয়।

আলহাজ্ব কাজী মাওলানা মো. আবুল হাসান শেখ শরীয়তপুরী বলেন, “যেহেতু বাল্যবিবাহ একটি খাস সুন্নত এবং প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনা বাল্যবিয়ে চালুর জন্য একটি আইন করার প্রস্তাব করতে চেয়েছিলেন কিন্তু এনজিওদের জন্য পারেননি। আজকে দেখা যাচ্ছে যে, অবৈধ মেলামেশা, বিভিন্ন ধরনের অপকর্ম, ধর্ষণ হচ্ছে, ১৫-১৬ বছর বয়সে কুমারী মা হয়ে যাচ্ছে। আমরা এসব প্রতিরোধে একটি আইন করার জন্য বলেছি। এছাড়াও, লেখনীর মাধ্যমে বিভিন্ন মানুষ নবীর প্রতি মানহানিকর বক্তব্য লিখছে। তাই আমরা বলেছি যে, একটি আইন করলে আওয়ামী লীগ যেনো আজীবন ক্ষমতায় থাকে দেশের আলেম-ওলামা ও পীর-মাশায়েখগণ সেই দোয়া করবে।”

বাল্যবিয়ে নিরোধে কারা কাজ করছে, তাদের সঙ্গে আপনাদের কথা হয়েছে কখনো?

ওলামা লীগের সাধারণ সম্পাদক বলেন, “সুলতানা কামালসহ বিভিন্ন এনজিওরা আছে না, ওরা। এই ধরেন ইউনিসেফ আছে, ওরাসহ বিভিন্ন আরকি। এনজিও, সরকার ও নারীবাদীরা অবৈধ কুমারী মাতা হতে সমর্থন করছে। অনেকেই তাদের বিরুদ্ধে কিছু বলছে না। এই জন্যই আমরা এইগুলি বলেছি। সে জন্য একটি আইন করতে প্রধানমন্ত্রীর কাছে দাবি জানিয়েছি।”

সরকার কি আপনাদের দাবিগুলো মেনে নেবে বলে মনে হয়?

মাওলানা আবুল হাসান শেখ বলেন, “এই ধরেন ৫-৬ বছর ধরে আমাদের প্রত্যেকটি দাবি মেনে নিয়েছে সরকার। শিক্ষানীতি নিয়ে এই দেশে আমরাই সর্বপ্রথম দাবি করেছিলাম, প্রধানমন্ত্রী মেনে নিয়েছেন। এসকে সিনহার পদত্যাগ চেয়েছিলাম সর্বপ্রথম আমি। এবারও আমরা ১৩টি দাবি দিয়েছি। সরকারের লোকজন, এনএসআই, ডিজি, ডিজিএফআই, এসবি সবাই বলছে যে ভালো কাজ। আমাদের সব দাবি আস্তে আস্তে কার্যকর হবে। ইনশাআল্লাহ।”

@bluesky আপনার কি অভিমত এইসব জাহিল ফতোয়াবাজ দের বিষয়ে ?

Blue Sky এর ব্যাপারে জানি না তবে এই গন্ডমূর্খদের কান্ড দেখে হাসবো না কাঁদবো তা বুঝে উঠতে পারছিনা। এইসব মোল্লারা কি দুনিয়ার কোনো খোঁজ খবর রাখেনা? তার ওপর বলে যে পুলিশ এবং সরকারি কর্মকর্তারা নাকি তাদের সাথে একমত।

আর অপ্রাপ্ত বয়স্ক কিশোরীদের বিয়ে করার ব্যাপারে তাদের এত ইন্টারেস্ট কেনো? লোচ্চা বাঁদর সব।

These uneducated schmucks are basically clueless regarding the laws in Bangladesh and also international law. Child Marriage (age of legal consent) was made to be 14 decades ago in Bangladesh (should be 18 like in India). Moreover they're saying police and high officials are supporting their 'cause'.

Why are they so interested in marriage for underage girls? Perverts as usual.

 

[Joe Shearer]

off-topic : Why is this language so beautiful in written form?

You should hear it. It's unbelievable, even for a speaker of one of the most beautiful, yet clear and logic-strengthening languages.

Devanagari script (of which Bengali script through Siddham script is a close relative of), literally means city/system of the gods

You know about Siddham????

its elvish

....and some Pakistani members complain that Indians come into their discussions on Pakistan and things Pakistani and offend everybody.

This one is exceptional, a work of calligraphic art. Hehe, I'm very jealous right now...and I'm Greek too (we really love our language).

Below are five of the most aesthetically attractive alphabets in the world, and the reasons why you’re probably never going to read them.

1. Burmese (Myanmar)

Photo: Yoann Gruson-Daniel

The Burmese alphabet (from old Burma, now called Myanmar) is composed of circular shapes that must always be drawn clockwise. The mesmerizing script has a raison d’êtremore practical than aesthetic: The palm leaves in which the letters were traditionally carved were easily torn by straight cuts.

Even if it’s less threatened than other alphabets on this list, the Burmese script is more and more often being relegated to liturgies while, in daily usage, it’s being replaced by Hindi and even Latin writing systems. Myanmar, which until recently restricted foreign tourism, has just opened its borders to visitors, and left the exclusive group of nations where you couldn’t spot a Coca-Cola billboard (leaving only North Korea and, arguably, Cuba).

2. Sinhalese (Sri Lanka)

Considered one of the most expansive alphabets in the world, Sinhalese has more than 50 phonemes, though only 38 are frequently used in contemporary writing. Still taught in Buddhist monasteries and schools, the language is the mother tongue for more than half of Sri Lanka’s 21 million inhabitants.

Its low geographical relevance (confined to the island of Sri Lanka) is its greatest threat. Restricted to a piece of land surrounded by water, Sinhalese writing has will likely endure for a good while yet, even if its usage decreases over time.

3. Georgian (Georgia)

Photo: G Travels

Squeezed between Turkey and Russia, Georgia has its own language and alphabet, both of which are threatened by Russian domination. In the last century, Russian imperialist policy resulted in the annexation of more than half of Georgia’s original area. Furthermore, continuing pressure for the small country to cede additional portions of its territory suggests that fewer and fewer Caucasians will be speaking and writing Georgian as time goes on, as Russian and the Cyrillic alphabet supplant the native systems. The Russian desire to control oil pipelines that run under Georgia also represents a menace to the sovereignty of the local culture.

It’s a pity: The Georgian alphabet shows an elegance that brings to mind Arabic, combined with a child-like simplicity expressed in rounded curves.

4. Tagalog (Philippines)

Photo: Gubernatoria

Originating from Indo-European scripts, Tagalog was the dominant writing system in Philippines until the arrival of the Spanish. Colonization first only modified certain aspects of the alphabet. Whereas it once was written from the bottom up, it began to flow from left to right and the characters were rotated 90 degrees. Later, Spanish was designated the official language of the Philippines in what probably will prove a deathblow for the old alphabet, if it hasn’t already.

Despite naming Filipino (a mixture of indigenous languages and Spanish) as the national language in 1973, its written component shifted to the Latin alphabet. Tagalog writing still survives, at least according to authorities. In practice, though, its fate will likely be similar to that of more than 120 local dialects that have gradually vanished from the country.

5. Hanacaraka (Indonesia)

Originally developed on the Indonesian island of Java to communicate the Javanese language, Hanacaraka writing then began spreading to neighboring islands and incorporating regional variations. With the popularization of printing presses, authorities repeatedly tried to standardize the alphabet in the 19th and 20th centuries. However, these efforts were interrupted by the Japanese occupation during the Second World War, when the usage of Hanacaraka was forbidden.

The ruling party has also demanded legal action against the people involved for conducting activities against Awami League’s policy using the name of Awami Ulama League

Bangladesh Awami League on Monday denied any involvement with the Awami Ulama League, an Islamist organization.

In a signed statement sent to the media by Awami League Office Secretary Abdus Sobhan Golap, it read that the party has observed some media reports of the Awami Ulama League demanding a ban on the operations of NGOs, as well as the BPL T20 cricket tournament.

“We want to clearly state that Awami League right now does not have any associated body called Awami Ulama League or any committee at any level and there is no relationship between the reports published and the Awami League,” it also read.

Conducting such activities in the name of Awami Ulama League is completely unethical and illegal, the statement included.

The ruling party has also demanded legal action against the people involved for conducting activities against Awami League’s policy using the name of Awami Ulama League.

@Horus this thread and two other thread opened with same topic. Please merge:

[Black_cats]

Why ignored another thread then that was exactly based on the same hell news? My thread is a counter of those 2 thread based on solid news.

Do you have any enmity with me that you ignored the thread of damn Ryad that is exactly the same with that ?
What about this one ? https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/awam...ng-wants-child-marriage-in-bangladesh.597986/
Is not actually based on same news and you have tagged @Horus to show that my thread is on same topic ( although my thread was based on a counter news) , and why you did not speak against the thread of Ryad ?
@Black_cats

These all are same and all about Awami Olama League and their claim of banning child marriage and banning bpl

 

[jamal18]

Somebody clarify: do they want child marriage or lower the age of legal marriage?

 

[Black_cats]

Then my thread should remain as OP ( if merging is necessary )as it's based on latest news. Peoples read the OP often, not other posts. I posted that thread based on latest news so that others can easily saw the real news. I want peoples from different countries to read the news as a top priority where BD govt totally rejected olama league as their part.
@Horus .

This is follow up news. It will come as follow up.

 

[bluesky]

Because it is very beautiful in it's spoken form too . Please listen the Bengali song , it's so nice !

Do you really think the Bengali language spoken throughout Bangladesh except for Kushtia (formerly part of Nadia District) sounds beautiful? I think this claim is outrageous. I request you to hear what the Noakhlians, Chatgaynyans, Sylhettis or Mymensingh people talk. I wish these and other people throughout BD to respect your very kind opinion and learn how to speak in good Bengali like the Nadia/Kushtia people do.

আওয়ামী লীগ‘আওয়ামী ওলামা লীগ’ নামে আওয়ামী লীগের কোনো সহযোগী সংগঠন নেই। এ নামে কোনো পর্যায়ে কোনো ধরনের কমিটি নেই এবং প্রকাশিত সংবাদের সঙ্গে আওয়ামী লীগের কোনো ধরনের সম্পর্ক নেই। আজ সোমবার ‘আওয়ামী ওলামা লীগ’–এর বিপিএল নিষিদ্ধের দাবি তোলার পরই ক্ষমতাসীন দলটির পক্ষ থেকে এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে এসব কথা বলা হয়েছে।

Does it matter whatever the name of this Islam-loving organization? Point is what they are demanding. Some of the Islamist are demanding no education for girls, some are talking about sinning with Qufri if child marriage is not reinstated. It will not surprise me if someone comes up with demand like the 9-year old girls be wed to 50-year old Islamic Peers or who have the power and money. This kind of marriage may not be Qufri.

I as talking about classical Bengali ( প্রমিত বাংলা) .

Does it matter whatever the name of this Islam-loving organization? Point is what they are demanding..

It does matter bro ,propaganda based on lies should not be established.Peoples should know that who are behind the heinous act of olama league . And olama league used the name of AL , and that is a lie , and lies should not be established .

Aksara Jawa, still learned in schools throughout Central and East Java region but to found people who actually capable to writing and speaking in old Jawa language and script is very difficult nowadays as people prefer to speak in daily Jawa language and Bahasa Indonesia. Look like Indian, Bengali or Thailand script tough

It does matter bro ,propaganda based on lies should not be established.
Peoples should know that who are behind the heinous act of olama league .

Loving Islam or a political party is alright. But, putting the reality and truth behind to camouflage is to betray one's own conscious. Now, tell us who are behind this kind of demands. But, the issue is not who is behind. This kind of demand itself is the issue.
