DHAKA, Sept 6, 2025 (BSS)- Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has expressed concern and strongly condemned the incident of Nural Pagla's body after exhumed from the grave and burnt in Goalanda, Rajbari.
A statement of the party issued here today said the body of Nurul Haque alias 'Nural Pagla', who claimed to be 'Imam Mahdi' in Goalanda, Rajbari, was taken out of the grave and burnt by people of the so-called 'Iman-Aqeedah Raksha Committee'.
“Nurul Haque is now dead; he will be accountable to Allah for everything he did during his lifetime. But Islam does not approve of exhuming body from the grave and burning it in this way.
Human and religious values have been violated through this incident. We express deep concern and strongly condemn this incident,” reads the statement.
It said Jamaat-e-Islami does not tolerate any activity that creates chaos in the society and the state.
Jamaat-e-Islami has always played a responsible role in establishing peace and building a just society in the country, said the statement.
“Therefore, the attempt to link Jamaat-e-Islami's name with this incident is very sad, unwanted and unwelcome,” reads the statement.
“The country has a law and judiciary. Taking the law into one's own hands is in no way acceptable. In the interest of maintaining the law and order situation, peace and stability of the country, the law enforcing agencies should have played a more responsible role,” it said.
Jamaat called upon the concerned quarters to refrain from all activities that can create unrest and chaos in the society and the state.
