KOLKATA: Bangladesh local government minister, Syed Ashraful Islam, has said that Islamabad used his country for terrorism in India and that former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf had met Ulfa founder, Anup Chetia, at a Dhaka hotel during the previous BNP-Jamaat regime.

He said Chetia was brought out of prison for the clandestine meeting. Islam’s statement in Dhaka on Friday came three days before Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s three-day visit to India.

“The BNP-led alliance was responsible for deterioration of relations between India and Bangladesh. Not only did Musharraf meet Chetia, the Bangladesh government at that time allowed many Mujahideen leaders - involved in the Afghan war - to facilitate the activities of terror groups in India,’’ he said. He said 10 truckloads of weapons and 15 million rounds of ammunition seized in Chittagong and Bogra were meant for terror, separatist groups operating in India.

'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.' Asia News

Dhaka (AsiaNews) - William Gomes, a Catholic convert from Islam, is in mortal danger. For the past several days he has been the target of Muslim extremists who want to kill him because of his new faith. On 25 September he had to flee his home to escape from a group of Islamic militants who wanted to kill him and his family (wife and child), setting fire to their house. After Friday prayers at a mosque nearby, a group of fanatics had asked the leaders of their mosque to decide on the fate of the young man and the penalty to be inflicted on him.

A freelance journalist and human rights activist, married to a Catholic and father of a child, Gomes had recently received threats, but on September 25, his accusers passed from words to deeds. Led by Nazmi Mohammed Uddin Titu, a local leader of the Chatra League movement of young Muslims, a group marched on the house of the young man accused of apostasy.

The human rights activist sought police protection, but officers of the Police Commission in Jatrabri limited themselves to filing his complaint. Gomes said that the officer on duty guaranteed police intervention only after the fact happened saying he was not surprised at the anger of Muslims over his conversion.
