The FBCCI on Monday said those who suddenly swooped on law enforcers in the capital’s Motijheel, and vandalised and set ablaze vehicles were from a ‘terrorist group’ who the government identified as activists of Jamaat-e-Islami.

The top trade body in a statement voiced ‘deep concern’ and ‘strongly condemned’ the sudden attacks launched by the group in the city’s business district.

The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry asked the government to take legal measures against the attackers.

Activists of the Jamaat-e-Islami and its student front Islami Chhatra Shibir once again pounced on law enforcers at Motijheel following a demonstration in the morning demanding release of their top leaders facing trials on war crimes charges.

The Jamaat supporters went berserk in the capital’s Motijheel, smashing nearly 100 vehicles. They set fire to five vehicles including a police van. At least 21 policemen were injuring when they tried to prevent the mayhem.

They also carried out similar arson attacks across the country.

The statement said: “The FBCCI expresses deep concern and strongly condemns the attacks on business establishments, police personnel and vandalising of over a hundred vehicles apart from explosion of crude bombs launched by a terrorist organisation.”

Blaming the Islamist party for the attacks, Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir had earlier told reporters, “Measures are being taken so that the Jamaat-Shibit cannot carry out such attacks in future.”

The FBCCI statement signed by Secretary General Mir Shahabuddin said that such sudden attacks during office hours in the Motijheel commercial hub created panic among the people and caused huge losses to the business establishments.

“The FBCCI does in no way support such anarchic situation in the interest of the country’s businesses.”

It demanded exemplary punishment to the perpetrators following proper investigations and asked the government to take necessary measures to avert recurrence of such attack and ensure security to people and business establishments.

Jamaat, Shibir attack police

2013-01-28 04:54:52.0

Activists of the Jamaat-e-Islami and its student front, Islami Chhatra Shibir, attacked policemen across the country on Monday, demanding release of their top leaders facing trials on war crimes charges.

At least 33 policemen were injured – 21 of them in capital Dhaka—in the attacks, officials said.

The attacks appeared pre-meditated and planned because they resembled a pattern and were launched around the same time in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna and Dinajpur.

Attack in Dhaka

Jamaat, Shibir activists went berserk in the capital’s Motijheel area, smashing nearly 100 vehicles. They set fire to five vehicles including a police van. At least 21 policemen were injuring when they tried to prevent the mayhem.

Motijheel police SI Moktar Hossain told bdnews24.com the clashes erupted around 10am when Jamaat, Shibir activists brought out a procession and tried to attack the police station.

He said the agitators gathered at the Shapla Chattar and moved towards the Balaka Chattar attacking vehicles on the way. Several crude bombs were lobbed at random to create panic.

Police’s Motijheel zone Additional commissioner Mehedi Hasan told bdnews24.com the agitators had set fire to two vehicles in front of the Department of Public Health Engineering.

He said the Motijheel, Paltan and Shahjahan police have detained at least 50 trouble-makers during and after the clashes.

The situation was controlled by midday, but Hasan said a large police posse has been deployed at the key points of the city.

The sudden attack disrupted traffic in the busy commercial area, said bnews24.com’s Kamal Hossain Talukder, who was at the spot during the clashes.

Bombs explode in Rajshahi

Around the same time, at least 15 people, including two police officials, were injured as Shibir activists attacked the police in Rajshahi University.

Traffic on the busy Dhaka-Rajshahi Highway was disrupted for nearly 30 minutes as the agitators set up road blocks in the Binodpur area.

The Shibir activists also exploded at least five handmade bombs, Motihar police OC SM Abdus Sobhan told bdnews24.com.

Police detained three Shibir activists after the attacks.

Mayhem in Chittagong

Two policemen were injured in Shibir attack in the port city around 10am.

“A group of Shibir activists gathered at the city’s BRTC intersection around 10am on Monday and suddenly hurled brickbats at the police,” Chittagong Metropolitan Police’s Assistant Commissioner Abdul Mannan told bdnews24.com.

He said two constables – Masud Karim and ‘Jamal’ – were injured and were hospitalised.

Mannan said no one have been arrested so far.

Another six policemen were injured in an attack by Shibir activists in Banshkhali area later the day.

Banshkhali police OC Abdus Sabur told bdnews24.com that several hundred Shibir activists had gathered at the Chambal Bazaar area around 1:30pm and were trying to hold a rally. As police stopped them from putting up banners, the Shibir activists brought out a procession and hurled bricks at the law enforcers.

The gathering dispersed after police intervened, he said. Two Shibir activists have been detained from the scene.

The OC said the situation was under control and additional police patrol have been deployed to prevent violence recurrence.

‘Sticks procession’ in Dinajpur

Jamaat and its student front Shibir brought out a procession brandishing sticks to demand the release of their senior leaders.

Kotwali police SI Mamun told bdnews24.com that the police tried to stop the procession when it reached Munshipara.

The agitators attacked police, injuring Mamun and another policeman.

Meanwhile, Jamaat, Shibir activists brought out sudden processions in Khulna, Faridpur, Joypurhat, Brahmanbaria and several other districts demanding release of their detained leaders.

The Islamist party and its student wing had been protesting vociferously since November opposing the war crimes trials.

The countrywide attack on policemen seems part of their plans to intensify the agitation, now that the war crimes tribunals are close to announcing their verdicts on several Jamaat leaders for their alleged involvement in crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War against Pakistan.

They had even set a policeman on fire in Joypurhat and attacked Law Minister Shafique Ahmed’s motorcade on Nov 13 in Dhaka’s Karwan Bazar area.

Jamat is trying to cause an egypt like chaotic revolution to save their leaders! Unfortunately Bangladesh is not Egypt, Bengalis are not Arabs. They have daily works to do! So its Jamat alone... But its hurting BNP!!

Saw a few stupid f*cks throw brick at passenger buses and destroying tons of expensive cars in the streets on the news. That quite goodly justifies the police's action. Police are their to protect the people and properties of the country from these uncivilized idiots. Yesterday was pure vandalism. These citizens of Bangla are holding us back from development. If they really want to protest they should do it in front of pm office or other Government structures. Rather they are showing their power by sabotaging. No one gave them the right to that. They should let us live in peace and cry for their leader in court.

The starting of this flush point is 1971 war whereby the Jamaatis did all the heineous crimes on the innocent citizens of our country. Deaths and killings are acceptable in wars. But, the Jamaat and its youth and student fronts killed their own countrymen, specially the minority population, who were not at war.

The next flush point is the arrest of 1971 Jamaat leaders after the last election. Now, this trial and subsequent possible death penalty verdict of all these leaders are causing the Jamaat supporters to come out en mass to start anarchism. They have very efficiently used the mobile communications system to organize yesterday's anarchism.

In between 1971 and 2010 there was a long brown span of 39 years when the Jamaati leaders were allowed to participate in politics and elections. The two major parties sought the support of Jamaat and tied with them in different occasions. Even the demand for a Caretaker Government was raised first by Jamaat, but AL very cunningly hijacked the issue and forced the then BNP to accept it. I still hold photographs where SHW is holding meeting with the Jamaat leader, Matiur Rahman Nizami and others who are now under trial.

But, why AL is so adament to hang them? It is all political. Finally, Jamaat tied itself with BNP and because of this, BNP was swept to power in 2001 election. Now, AL thinks a BNP without a leaderless Jamaat will be unable to win an election even under a CTG system. With the help of Ershad's Jatiyo Party, AL is sure to win the next election, this is what it thinks. So, this is the reason why AL is after the necks of Jamaat leaders.

A country has many twists and turns. 1971 was one such big upheaval in the history of Bengal. Technically, this country was a part of Pakistan until it was free and was recognized by the international community. India and then Bhutan recognition can be the starting point of BD independence. The sole responsibilty of whatever was done from 26th march to 16th December lies with the government of Pakistan and not really the individuals. I am not a lawyer, but I think in that way. However, distinction must be also be made between the killing in the battlefields and the killing of the innocents.

Saying so, I must also say political issues, killings included, must be resolved with political dialogues. But, AL is pretending that the 1971 killings were just normal killings and must be punished by death sentences. Jamaat group wanted to keep the country united by killing people, and AL wanted to separate the country into two by killing and by soliciting foreign intervention.

So, considering one's loyalty towards Pakistan, a then recognized country, or towards Bangladesh, not yet a recognized country, both the Jamaat and AL can be regarded as patriots or as traitors. Today we are watching the trial of vanquished by the victors, albeit, after a long 40years, when we should not look past and go ahead. This is what Vietnam has done and all other countries do. But, AL is composed of all the naughty people this Earth can give birth to. I will not regret the demise of this party for being too arrogant in nature and for dividing the nation into two once again.

What we should do is ban every past party, BNP BAL JAPAT JP. Only then will the nation move ahead.

Vandalism - i travel frequently through Uttara-Shahbag route. I have seen all kinds of Vandalism, by Garment workers, by private university students of Banani area, any vandalism following road traffic deaths! I remember, when private university students were vandalizing public properties against their university fees, they were cheered by most so called new generation... Shibir is no different than them. No need to make them demon. Anyone who destroys public properties should be brought to justice!
