Jubo Dal chief urges Jamaat to return to 'healthy politics'

Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal President Abdul Monayem Munna has called on Jamaat-e-Islami to abandon what he described as 'cheap politics' and return to 'healthy political practices,' reports UNB
He made the call while addressing a protest rally held in front of the BNP Nayapaltan central office in the capital on Wednesday.
The programme was organised by Dhaka South city Jubo Dal. After the rally, a protest march was brought out from Nayapaltan.
Munna alleged that a speech by a BNP lawmaker was being misrepresented and circulated as an anti-hijab statement.
He claimed that the MP did not mention hijab in his remarks, but that the issue was being deliberately distorted and used to create agitation in different places.
The Jubo Dal chief said the people of Bangladesh are religious, adding that late President Ziaur Rahman had inserted the phrase 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' into the Constitution, and therefore a party founded by him could not be anti-Islamic in nature.
He also said BNP holds sincere respect for Islam, citing the suspension of their programme during the call to prayer as an example.
