Train torched in Dhaka

Miscreants have set a train on fire at Dhaka’s Kamalapur Railway Station, the nerve-centre of Bangladesh’s rail network, in the last leg of the two-day strike called by Jamaat-e-Islami.
Railways Minister Mazibul Hoque has blamed the Jamaat for the act of arson.
The attack on the train at Kamalapur came amidst large scale sabotage and arson on railway property by Jamaat-Shibir supporters in the last two days as the Islamists went on a violent spree ever since its leader Delwar Hossain Sayeede was ordered to walk the gallows Thursday.
Trains have been set on fire, rail tracks have been uprooted or even burnt down by using tar and fuel, signals have been vandalised in what is seen as a systematic effort by the Islamist party to disrupt railway services across the country.

Jamat e Islami supporters’ actions raise and validate the question -- are they still not acting like enemy of the state as they did in 1971? What gives any political party the right to destroy national infrastructure in the name of protest? Where is this permitted in Islam?

Jama’at Islami leaders did not support the creation of Pakistan in the 1940′s. They did the same in 1971 in Bengal.
It was the Ahmadis who took active part in creaion of Pakistan. The Jama’at people took active part in making the Ahmadis non-Muslim by government order. They were active in dis-enfranchising the Ahmadis from voting list. They being the enemies of Pakistan, and previously not believing in any peaceful change of power, are now active leaders in politics, trying to grab power by the vote.
Some one has to understand these things, these acts of the Jama’at islami.
The Bengalese (Bangladeshis) have woken up to the problems facing their country. They are taking the culprits to task. The Jama’at members (sympathisers) have no right to damage public property. They should rest and wait for the decisions of the courts and face them peacefully.

I fully agree that Jama’at Islami leaders did not support the creation of Pakistan in the 1940′s. They did the same in 1971 in Bangladesh. It is because the leadership of Jama’at Islami always in try to enjoy benefits of situation. They always try to use the shoulder of others to become in force to further strengthen its Jama’at.
