1. Jamaat-e-Islami and the 11 other hardline parties led by it have opened a new major front against India. The main objective of this front is to oppose the so-called ‘push-in’ (forcing Bangladeshi infiltrators in India back to Bangladesh) and ‘border firing’ on the India-Bangladesh border. Several programmes are being organised against India in Bangladesh. The front has said that along with the roundtable discussions in the capital, meetings will also be organised in different districts.

2. On June 10th, the alliance held a press conference at the central office of Jamaat-e-Islami in Mogbazar. They informed about organizing a nationwide programme against India. Expressing deep concern over the current situation in the border areas, the alliance’s communication committee coordinator and Jamaat’s assistant general secretary A.H.M. Hamidur Rahman Azad said that the country is struggling with political instability, border killings and rising prices. The Jamaat leader alleged that 19 Bangladeshis were killed and 24 injured in firing by the Indian Border Security Force in the last 100 days.

3. The Jamaat led alliance claims that India has tried to forcibly send more than 2,400 Bangladeshi citizens across the border in the last 3 months. (Please note that the Jamaat remains silent on the attacks on hundreds of Hindus in Bangladesh that took place during the same period – Editor).
