Eminent citizens today demanded punishment of those responsible for the attack on Ahmadiyya community in Panchagarh and steps to ensure security of the community members across the country.
They also demanded that Awami Olama League, Khatm-e-Nabuwat and some like-minded organisations be banned “for their activities against peace and spirit of secularism.”
The citizens, including former justice, war crimes researchers, religious leaders, were speaking at a views-exchange meeting with Ahmadiyya community at their headquarters in Dhaka’s Bakshi Bazar.
On February 12, six people were injured and many houses were vandalised when supporters of local Islamist groups attacked people of the community in Ahmednagar village of Panchagarh Sadar, demanding cancellation of its annual conference, scheduled for February 22-24.
