The conspiracy to undermine the sovereignty of Bangladesh, which began immediately after the Liberation War, is still going on, said Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mojaheed.

He urged the 'foreign friends' of the country not to back any conspiracy that might put the military into a confrontational course with the people.

Former Minister Mojaheed was addressing as chief guest a meeting organised by Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh Kirshorganj unit held at local community centre on Saturday with the District Ameer Principal Moulana Tayebuzzaman in the chair.

Jamaat Secretary General said the countrymen were aware why the state of the emergency was extended ignoring the Constitution. The emergency was declared as a part of a conspiracy and blueprint was hatched by the local and international quarters, he added.

The military government had been trying to establish 'the minus two theory' after holding power and added they could minus none, if the people did not, he further added.

He also said it was clear to the people that the government was keeping Khaleda Zia detained with a view to keeping her out of the election contest.

Jamaat District unit secretary Principal Abdus Salam, Jamaat leader Ramjan Ali, former BNP MP Masud Helali and the district unit Chhatra Shibir President Abdus Sattar, among others, also spoke at the meeting.
