New Delhi, July 17: Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari, Ameer (National President) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned the Bangladesh war tribunal for awarding 90 years jail sentence to 90-year-old former Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat Islami Prof. Ghulam Azam. Terming the anti-Jamaat cases being trialed by the tribunal set up by Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina Wajid as fake and partial, Maulana Jalaluddin Umari said this is part of a larger conspiracy to remove eminent Islamist personalities from the political landscape of Bangladesh.
Ameer-e Jamaat Maulana Umari said the Sheikh Hasina government has failed to prove charges of war crime of 1971 against the senior Islamic leader of Bangladesh, and the tribunal which has awarded the cruel sentence has not been considered as international standard by the United Nations.
He demanded the Bangladesh government to revoke sentences against the Islamist personalities of the country and release them with honor. Ameer-e Jamaat has appealed to all justice-loving nations, organizations and people to raise voice against the brutal act of the Bangladesh government.
