PM seeks “alems” role to maintain social peace
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today urged Islamic scholors and religious leaders to play their role in maintaining social peace saying her government would not allow anybody to spread any propaganda against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“I know that a lot of propaganda spreads on social media. . . do not pay any heed to them,” she told a “shukrana mahfil” or thanksgiving rally of Al-Hiyatul Ulya Lil-Zamiatil Qawmiya Bangladesh, a combine of Qawmi education boards.
According to BSS reports, The premier added that her government introduced tough cybercrime laws to deal with such malicious campaigns and “anyone who spreads such false information would be exposed to justice.
“Anybody, spreading any propaganda against Islam and the Prophet, would be brought to justice under the law. We will not take the law in our hand but give them befitting reply through exposing them to the court of law,” she warned.
The combine of Qawmi education boards organized the rally to acknowledge the government’s recognition of the highest certification offered by non-government Qawmi madrasas as equivalent to postgraduate degrees.
“The militants and terrorisms have no religion, country or society . . . any true believer of Islam can never be a militant or terrorist,” the prime minister said.
The premier said a handful of people were tarnishing the image of Islam resorting to militancy and terrorism but Islam should not be associated with the militancy and terrorism”.
The prime minister said peace should not be jeopardized as it’s the foremost condition of all development through which everybody can be benefitted.
