A seminar titled ‘Global Recession – Impact on Bangladesh: Islam’s Economic Alternative’ organized by Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh at the Engineering Institute, Chittagong could not be held due to police obstruction. Chief Coordinator and Official Spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh Mohiuddin Ahmed strongly condemned and protested the government’s decision to stop the seminar. Mohiuddin Ahmed said the government is clamping down on discussions on Islam as an alternative to the chaos and corruption caused by Capitalism in order to please their American masters. The imperialists and their agents provide lip service to ‘free thought’ and ‘freedom of expression’ but in reality they silence any serious intellectual and political opposition to their rotten ideology.

The government stops discussion on Islam as an alternative to Capitalism

A seminar titled ‘Global Recession – Impact on Bangladesh: Islam’s Economic Alternative’ organized by Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh at the Engineering Institute, Chittagong could not be held due to police obstruction. Chief Coordinator and Official Spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh Mohiuddin Ahmed strongly condemned and protested the government’s decision to stop the seminar. Mohiuddin Ahmed said the government is clamping down on discussions on Islam as an alternative to the chaos and corruption caused by Capitalism in order to please their American masters. The imperialists and their agents provide lip service to ‘free thought’ and ‘freedom of expression’ but in reality they silence any serious intellectual and political opposition to their rotten ideology.

Mohiuddin Ahmed said Hizb ut-Tahrir clearly conveys its message to the government – no amount of obstacle has been able to deter the party from its work throughout the world and there will be no exception to that in Bangladesh.
