Well informed sources told The Daily Star that Jamaat-e-Islami was patronising Tehrik-e-Khatme Nobuwwat to create unrest in the country in the name of an anti-Ahmadiyya movement and to keep administration busy with this.

In a surprise move, the newly formed fanatical Islamist party Tehrik-e-Khatme Nabuwwat held a rally against Ahmadiyyas, a Muslim minority community, in the capital yesterday.

The sudden campaign raised questions about the intentions of the party, which is allegedly linked to Jamaat-e-Islami and was founded 2-3 years back.

The party held the rally at Baitul Mukarram Mosque compound demanding that the government declare Ahmadiyyas non-Muslims. Ahmadiyyas, who do not believe Muhammad to be the last prophet, are considered by some to be non-Muslims.

Well informed sources told The Daily Star that Jamaat-e-Islami was patronising Tehrik-e-Khatme Nobuwwat to create unrest in the country in the name of an anti-Ahmadiyya movement and to keep administration busy with this.

A key partner in the BNP-led 18-party alliance, Jamaat, has been undergoing hard times since the war crimes trial opened against its top leaders in 2010.

An Ahmadiyya leader told The Daily Star, “Engaging Tehrik-e-Khatme Nabuwwat on the street against Ahmadiyya was nothing but a Jamaat strategy to create unrest in the country. This was not the first time Jamaat used this strategy."

Tehrik-e-Khatme Nabuwwat Ameer (chief) Anayetullah said they would take every step to declare Ahmadiyyas non-Muslims. Asked why they raised the issue suddenly, he said earlier they were engaged in the campaign through internet and other means.
