Jamaat , Trinamool trying to destabilise Hasina

Friday, 12 September 2014


India's leading Bangla daily 'Ananda Bazar Patrika' has blown the lid off the links between Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh and West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress.
In a front-page expose, the daily claimed Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP Ahmed Hassan Imran as the crucial link between the two parties, according to a news agency.
"Before 2011, the Jamaat helped Trinamool with huge funds secretly transferred across the border. Imran played a key role in it.
Mamata Banerjee's stiff resistance to the Teesta water sharing deal and the Land Boundary Agreement is part of the ploy to destabilise the Sheikh Hasina regime, the report claimed.
"She is totally influenced by some Urdu speaking Muslim leaders in her party who are close to Jamaat and who mobilised critical minority support and huge funds for her in the rundown to the 2011 West Bengal polls when the Left was ousted from power.
The high pitch BJP campaign against Mamata follows the visit to Kolkata by the party's national president Amit Shah, who has advised his Bengal party colleagues to focus on Saradha scam and Mamata's Jamaat links in the rundown to some assembly by-elections in Bengal.
