DHAKA, Aug 2, 2024 (BSS) - The Dhaka University Teachers Association (DUTA)
today congratulated the government for banning the politics of defeated evil
forces of '71 -- Jamaat-e-Islami and all its front organisations and
entities, including Islami Chhatra Shibir.

Welcoming the government's decision banning Jamaat-e-Islami, DUTA issued a
statement today signed by DUTA president Dr Nizamul Hoque Bhuiyan and general
secretary Dr Zeenat Huda.

Jamaat and Chhatra Shibir (previously known as Islami Chhatra Sangha) are
liable for committing genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity
during the Liberation War in 1971 as well as were involved in recent
widespread anarchy and violence, said the statement.

The decision of banning Jamaat and all of its associate bodies has been a
vital decision as the party was in leading position in killing the
intellectuals on December 14 in 1971 and also has been opposing the
sovereignty as well as the spirit of the great Liberation War, it added.

After the Independence, the party also carried out violence and tortured
students in the universities and countrywide.
