Malala, Khaleda and Hasina are characterless: Hefajat E Islam Hujur

[CaPtAiN_pLaNeT]

One of the Hefajat E Islam hujur termed Pakistani girl Malala who was shot by Taleban as characterless along with Hasina and Khaleda Zia as they dnt follow the Islamic dress code. Regarding Malala he said that she was not only characterless but also was trying to bring out other woman from inside houses to do the same which eventually created anger on her not because she wanted to go to school. When it was reminded to the hujur that Malala always wear hijab and so the other girls of her area then the he said that dress might have been enough for Bangladesh but not in a place from where she belongs. All the girl must wear dress fully covering themselves except certain portion of hand, foot and face, if any one dnt follow that then he will say themselve characterless. When the question was raised about PM Hasina and Opposition leader Khaleda Zia he said they are the same even though initially he tried to avoid answering the question but he did not answer the question what is his opinion about Khaleda and Hasina's leadership as according to them female leadership is haram (prohibited).

Regarding sculpture he said all sort of sculpture is haram and should not be built and destroyed. When he was reminded that in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt and Iran there are sculptures and even Saudi King and VC of Al Azhar University of Egypt permitted it, he replied he does not care what they say or whether those countries have sculptures. He just want ban of all sort of sculpture in Bangladesh.

He said that if they able to come into power they will introduce islamic law in the country which will bring everyone to follow shairah law. He gave the example of Iran where woman used to roam nude but after introduction of Shairah law everyone are now wearing burkha and hijab. He also gave the example of Khandakar Mushtaq who used to wear tupi which lead to all other government official to wear that. He mentioned that they want to come to power through a movement and eventually by election. For this he gave the example of Ershad downfall and 1990 movement.

When he was asked what is his opinion about war crime trial and banning Jamaat for the genocide they carried on 1971, he did not provide any clear answer. He said why Government wants to ban Jamaat we need to see that. Is it because government is incapable to contest against it or because they broke the existing law and constitution. It will never be accepted if government wants to impose a verdict of hanging by putting some people in the street and demanding capital punishment. In this case the judge's pen can not give any other verdict apart from hanging. He said that why government wants to target only the war criminal of his party (should have been said Jamaat) when government has ******* as home minister which he said told by Bongobir Kader Siddiqui. When he was asked why they are not providing any proof for it he could not provide any logical explanation.

Why drag the poor kid into this. Morons.

Why drag the poor kid into this. Morons.

Because according to the hujur she does not wear dresses following Islamic dress code and was encouraging other woman to do the same by bringing them out from inside houses. Period.

she used to wear and still wear all body cover dress with headscraf.

.

anyway the only noticable thing is that Malala's "cheerleading" brought funds for Girls education something far better for women done than anything good done by Hassina and Khalida.

Huzurs won’t feed us, say women workers
Mamunur Rashid and Quazi Shahreen Haq, bdnews24.com

Huzurs won

Published: 2013-04-08 18:23:39.0 Updated: 2013-04-08 18:37:03.0

Julekha Khatun, who has been working for 20 years, knows her place in the family.

“I’m important to everyone in the family as I earn for them. My husband and children listen to me.”

Radical right-wing group Hifazat-e Islam wants to keep women like Julekha confined to home. The 13 demands that the Chittagong-based group is pressing for are against the many rights the women enjoy, including their right to work outside home.

The demands have infuriated the working women like Julekha. “It’s not like everything the Huzurs (moulvis) say will happen. They won’t send food to your home,” she reasoned.

In the country, there are around 3.2 million female workers like Julekha, who is from Tangail and works as a security guard at a Ha-Meem Group factory in the capital’s Tejgaon.

The fourth of the Hifazat’s 13 demands announced at a rally in Motijheel on Saturday says: “Infiltration of all alien cultures, including shamelessness, evil practices, adultery, free mixing of men and women and lighting of candles for rights of individual and freedom of speech have to be stopped.”

The Hifazat rally, which was off-limits to women, demanded the National Women Development Policy be scrapped. Even the activists of the group physically and psychologically harassed several female journalists covering the rally.

The industrialists are also angry with the Hifazat demands.

“We cannot remove female workers just because they (Hifazat) want, as most of the important jobs are done by the women labourers, who constitute 80 percent of the workforce (in readymade garment industry),” said Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) President Atiqul Islam.

He said the readymade garment sector has made poor women stand on their feet in a patriarchal society through facilitating their income.

The statement of Sufia Begum, a co-worker of Julekha, also suggests that self-reliance is critical.

“If we two, husband and wife, don’t work, maybe money for lodging and food would be earned. But how will we raise our children?” she said.

Hosne Ara, another working woman from Mymensingh, has also realised that she will not survive unless she works.

“We want to honour the demands of the Huzurs. But the Huzurs aren’t going to take the responsibility to feed my children.”

Their male colleagues also think the Hifazat demands are ‘unrealistic’

Sabuj Miah of Sepal Garments said: “Wearing veil is okay. But it will be a problem if the support they (women workers) are giving to the family stops.”

Sabuj’s sister Anwara Begum is also working in the same factory since the family cannot live off her husband’s income alone. She said her job has brought ‘some solvency’ to their family.

Another readymade garment factory worker, Meem, said now there was no way to confine the women at home since time has changed.

“There are so many women everywhere – NGOs, garment factories, school and colleges. It’s not possible that all will be sitting at home,” she said.

Girls are now doing better than boys in education. In the last High Secondary Certificate examinations, the pass rate for girls was 79.09 percent whereas the same for boys was 78.67 percent.”

she used to wear and still wear all body cover dress with headscraf.

.

anyway the only noticable thing is that Malala's "cheerleading" brought funds for Girls education something far better for women done than anything good done by Hassina and Khalida.

According to the hujur she was not following proper dress code and was encouraging other woman of her area to follow the same.

Hifazat demands fundamentalism: German Ambassador

Hifazat demands fundamentalism: German Ambassador - bdnews24.com

Senior Correspondent, bdnews24.com
Published: 2013-04-08 14:04:28.0 Updated: 2013-04-08 15:14:45.0

German Ambassador Albrecht Conze sees ‘fundamentalism’ in Hifazat-e Islam’s 13-point charter of demand that the little-known group made in a rally on Saturday.

He says ‘this is not the tradition of secular Bangladesh’.

“This is a people’s republic. This is not a religious republic like Iran,” he said on Monday speaking at a Bangladesh-German Chamber of Commerce of Industries’ (BGCCI) ‘business launch’.

The luncheon meeting was organised to announce its partnership with the Messe Dusseldorf GmbH, one of the largest trade fair orgainsers in the world.

The Chittagong-based Hifazat has threatened to lay siege to Dhaka on May 5 if the government did not meet the demands that include banning women appearing in public with men, a halt to setting up of statues in educational institutions and roundabouts countrywide, and punishing what they said atheist bloggers.

Referring to their points, Ambassador Conze said: “We are seeing disturbing things these days. We are seeing things that belong to the Middle East, but not to the area east of Calcutta.”

He appealed to the business community to do ‘utmost’ to help defuse the current crisis. “Keep your republic constitutional, keep it secular.’

He said Bangladesh’s western friends were ‘worried’, but will ‘continue to stand by (it) in the current crisis’.

The Ambassador said Bangladesh was born as ‘a secular country and one of the reasons to leave the unity with then West Pakistan was that West Pakistan did not have secular tradition but East Bengal had’.

“Is your secular tradition now at risk?” he asked the business leaders of the largest bilateral chamber that has 400 members with annual two-way trade volume worth more than $4 billion.

He said they found “fundamentalism that takes God to the street instead of leaving God in the mosque, church, pagoda, or temple is not in the tradition of this country”.

Conze, however, said he was ‘confident’ that business people would find ‘one way or the other to be able to overcome it.’

In his speech, the ambassador spoke about Bangladesh’s current economic and political situation at a time when the country is witnessing constant shutdowns and the IMF predicts the usual 6 percent growth might not be achieved this year.

The Ambassador said Bangladesh ‘cannot afford to lose the steady growth’. To preserve the growth, he suggested going back to the constitution of the country, and ‘to the secret of success’ that is ‘secular Bangladesh’.

“If your growth goes down, the still existing and prevailing poverty will be like dynamites,” he said, “because people will not have the feeling that they can go out of it (poverty).”

He said the six percent growth was the reason for Bangladesh’s ‘internal stability and without growth you will not have stability’.

Germany is the second largest export market of Bangladesh with annual exports worth $3.5 billion.

The Ambassador said the interest about Bangladesh among German business community was ‘between unchanged and growing’.

“It is certainly not decreasing.”

He talked about fire safety standards in the readymade garment industries as he said Bangladesh’s garment industry was on the way of becoming ‘the biggest garment exporter in the world’.

“So becoming the biggest puts you to the spotlight and you must also become the best. Otherwise, you will run into far too many problems in the future.”

He credited ‘skills, diligence, and enormous perseverance’ of the people and their ‘readiness to work hard and even harder than some other continents’ to the ‘sustained success’ of the South Asian countries.

The success of South Asia’s economy, according to him, was hampered by a number of factors –absence of infrastructure and insufficient energy.

“But these are identified and defined which can be reduced by intelligent planning and best practices that have been developed elsewhere in the world.

“But the political and cultural factors were the most challenging in this region,” he continued.

“One party state like in East and South-East Asia is sometimes more efficient and more effective in planning, implementing and getting to results. It is more efficient than a democracy of the South Asian type.”

“It’s not a democracy (South Asian type) in pure sense of the word,” he said.

He said in the democracy of South Asian kind “you need consensus building and this consensus building is not just within political sphere, but it’s between the political and economic sphere”.

President of Bangladesh-German Chamber Shakhawat Abu Khair said the Hifajat people are ‘very minor’. “We have just given them a chance to come to the street.”

The Chief Advisor of the Chamber Md Saiful Islam said Bangladesh was still a secular country. “They (Hifajat) are 0.1 percent of Bangladesh’s people. It’s a fundamentalist group.”

“We have to give a prescription and roadmap to both government and the opposition abour what we should do and how.”

Ambassador Conze referred to the nine days of shutdown in March that he said brought ‘probably $2 billion economic loss to the country’. In the nine months towards the election, he said the figure will be $18 billion which is almost the figure the country’s main economic driver readymade garments earn a year.

He said Bangladesh should look at more than six percent economic growth and even a double digit frowth. For that, he said it would need “more transparency, it would need to say goodbye to well established practices of very close ties between the government of whatever party and business”.

The German envoy said Bangladesh-German Chamber in coming weeks and months had “enormous role to play in trying to ease the way to the future that does not seem easy right now”.

He, however, said he remained ‘optimistic’ because there were ‘too much brain and good intentions in this country for not letting it go the wrong way’.
