Politics of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh and Islam is not the same thing. The doctrine of Moududi and the ideology of Jamaat-e-Islami are the same things. It was stated by the leaders of Tanjime Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat while addressing a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity auditorium in the city yesterday.

They said the doctrine of Moududi was the outcome of thinking ignoring the mainstream Islam.

"This doctrine is not only contrary to the basic principles of Islam, but also is an opponent to the Islamic thinking, belief, ideology, culture and civilization nourished over the last 1450 years in the Muslim world," they observed.

Demanding the imposition of a ban on the politics of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, instead of Islamic politics, they called upon to build a united resistance against Jamaat for the greater interest of Islam and humanity. The press conference was addressed by organisation's president Moulana Obaidullah Faruque, Mokhlesur Rahman Kademi, Moulana Abdullah and Abul Kashem.
