Maulana Toha Mahmud Urges People to Reject Violence and Not Fall for Provocations by Fugitive Hasina’s Associates

National Ulama Alliance Joint Member Secretary Maulana Toha Mahmud has called on people to avoid violence and return to normal politics instead of following those who support fascism.

He said that the top leaders of the party that had long oppressed ordinary people are now staying in safe places and giving orders from there. But their workers at the field level are being pushed into danger.
He also urged the field-level workers not to follow the words of those who support fascism and not to take part in violence.

In a Facebook post on Thursday (November 12), he wrote, “The leaders of the party that oppressed ordinary people for so long are now staying in safe places and giving orders. The workers at the field level are dreaming based on those words. Their friends and relatives are facing many cases and spending their lives in prison. There is no point in destroying your own family and future to serve someone else’s political interests.”
Addressing the field-level workers, he wrote, “Why should you go to prison by carrying out violent acts for the sake of a fugitive fascist who has pushed the people of the country into danger to serve his own political interests?

“As human beings, I would ask you to repent. Leave the politics of killing people and the path of violence and return to a healthy political path for the good of the country. It is not too late. Avoid the path of conflict. Say no to the supporters of fascism for the sovereignty of the motherland and the safety of ordinary people.”
