In Jessore, Schoolchildren Tricked Into Filling Out Shibir Forms, Angry Parents Protest

District Correspondent

In Jessore, a secret organization, Chhatra Shibir, has been accused of deceiving and forcibly making young students fill out support forms for the organization.

The incident took place at 11 am on Thursday, September 19, at Pragati Adarsh ​​Madrasa in Sector 7, Khajura Bus Stand, a new suburb of the city.

The guardians of the students studying at the madrasa have accused the madrasa’s principal, Monirul Islam, of aiding the secret organization Shibir in this controversial act, which is completely outside the rules.

Sources said that the war criminal party Jamaat-e-Islami and its secret terrorist organization Chhatra Shibir organized a cultural program at Pragati Madrasa as part of their membership recruitment program. At the program, they tactfully forced students to fill out supporter forms.

Parents have alleged that the children did not know anything about the support form and were tricked into signing the form.

The reporter spoke to Ayan Bin Habib, a third-grade student at the madrasa. Speaking to the child, it was learned that he could not say anything about politics or the camp. He said that some people came to him, noted down his family information and made him sign a paper.

In this regard, student Ayan’s father, Sajag Jessore executive member Muhammad Habibur Rahman said, “They are trying to turn my son into a Shibir by completely deceiving him. What does he understand about Shibir politics at this age? He has been sent to a madrasa for his studies, but they are teaching him politics at this age.”

The guardian alleged that the madrasa principal was involved in this matter.

Regarding the allegations, Ahmad Ibrahim Shamim, president of the Jessore district branch of the underground organization Chhatra Shibir, said, “There is no organizational rule for making third-grade children fill out the forms. I don’t know why or who did it at the moment. I am outside Jessore now, so I can tell you the truth after knowing the matter.”

When a call was made to the principal of Pragati Madrasa, Monirul Islam, in this regard, he immediately hung up the phone after hearing the journalist’s identity.

Speaking to Helal Al Mamun, vice principal of the madrasa, he said that the camp had a cultural program at the madrasa. It was during that program that the camp’s student leaders made the students fill out this form.

He also said that many leaders, including Shibir’s Zubair Hossain and Rizwan Hasan, were present at the event.

It is worth noting that there is widespread public hatred and dissatisfaction with the war criminal Jamaat-e-Islami and Shibir, listed as the world’s third-largest terrorist organization, for their destructive activities in the name of religion-based politics, including the violence in 1971 and July-August. There is even widespread objection among the religious community to their beliefs.

On August 29, their cultural organization, Jessore Cultural Society, celebrated the first anniversary of the July violence at the District Shilpakala Academy auditorium. On that day, the organization organized various literary readings, including poetry recitations, by Bangabandhu Cultural Alliance leader and Pathik Sahitya Parishad president Sheikh Shahriar Sohel, Rezaul Romel, and Jamaat infiltrators in the Awami League on the July stage.
