Ghulam Azam was AL’s victim: Jamaat Ameer

NARAYANGANJ, Feb 7 (UNB): Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman has claimed that former party chief Ghulam Azam died as a victim of oppression by the fallen Awami League (AL) government.
Addressing a party rally in Narayanganj's Osmani Municipal Stadium on Friday, he also criticised former local MP Shamim Osman, calling him a 'godfather.'
Shamim Osman put up a 72-foot-long banner in Narayanganj barring the entry of Ghulam Azam in the district when he was a lawmaker, he said.
In the presence of the then deputy commissioner and superintendent of police, the godfather issued a threat to Ghulam Azam saying, 'File a murder case against me in advance.'
But in the end, Ghulam Azam suffered and died under the tyranny of the fallen Awami League government, the Jamaat Ameer claimed.
He questioned where that godfather is today? He is no longer in Narayanganj.
Narayanganj district and metropolitan units of Jamaat-e-Islami organised the rally for the first time since the fall of the AL on August 5 last year.
