Shameem recently released a video clip on social media and other online platforms to seek votes in the parliamentary election on Dec 30. Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Amir Sayedee was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal-1 on Feb 28, 2013. On Jan 17 last year, Sayeedi filed a petition requesting the court to reconsider its verdict and grant him acquittal. It’s unfortunate to allow any member of a war criminal to use the ‘paddy sheaf’ symbol. He blamed the BNP and Oikya Front chief Dr Kamal Hossain for giving Shameem the opportunity to contest in the election.
