KUSHTIA, Bangladesh: Thousands of people turned out for a public meeting organised by Hezbut Tawheed in Bheramara, Kushtia, on Saturday. The day-long meeting was attended by an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 leaders and activists from different upazilas of Kushtia.
Imam Hossain Mohammad Salim, the supreme leader of Hezbut Tawheed, addressed the gathering as the chief guest. Speaking about the various crises facing the country, Imam Salim said Bangladesh was experiencing severe challenges in the electricity, gas and broader energy sectors. He also said the law-and-order situation was deteriorating and that people were increasingly concerned about their security. Despite government efforts, he said, the situation had not improved significantly.
Imam Salim said criminal tendencies were rapidly increasing among the people. He alleged that, driven by the pursuit of excessive profits, a section of traders was adulterating food and medicines. At the same time, he said, ordinary people were suffering under the pressure of an interest-based capitalist economic system.

He said lasting relief from the country’s difficulties would not be possible as long as what he described as “man-made systems of life” remained in place.
“Only the way of life given by Allah can establish justice in the state and society,” Imam Salim said.
The public meeting was chaired by Tanvir Ahmed, Khulna Divisional Amir of Hezbut Tawheed.
Among others, speakers included Mohammad Jaseb Uddin, regional Amir of Hezbut Tawheed’s Kushtia region; Shamsuzzaman Milon, regional Amir of the Khulna region; Mohammad Saharul Islam, Rajshahi Divisional Coordinator; Mohammad Akkas Ali, president of the Kushtia district unit; and Zerin Saiyara, Khulna Divisional Secretary for Women’s Affairs.
The organisers said approximately 7,000 to 8,000 leaders and activists from different upazilas of Kushtia attended the public meeting.
