This unprecedented state patronage for extremists harks back grim memories when Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat e Islami (Jamaat) led coalition government reduced Bangladesh into a safe haven for both- transnational and home grown- terror outfits. But within days of interim regime, activists and leaders of this outfit publicly ran recruitment campaign on education campuses and streets. Even in demand for fighting crusade against western values, this radical outfit publicly rallied on streets.

For Ahmediyya’s lives have also become miserable as hardline outfit publicly threatened to hit the street unless the community members are declared as non-muslim.
