Jamaat for declaring Ahmadiyyas non-Muslims

Demanding that the government officially declare the Ahmadiyya community non-Muslim, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami's Acting Secretary General Maulana ATM Masum issued a statement on March 5.

The statement released on Jamaat's website says: "Bangladesh is a Muslim majority country where 90 per cent people are Muslims. In this country, Qadiani (Ahmadiyya) community is committing reckless activities against Islam. The Islam-loving people will never accept it. The government's role in this regard is questionable."

"The government should resolve the Qadiani crisis permanently paying full heed to the public views and also to declare Qadiani Non-Muslim officially," the statement added.
