But some have claimed that this flag belongs to the Islamic militant group. On the other hand, this may have been done at the instigation of a political party. On the other hand, it has been said by law and order forces that those who are marching with black flags are members of the banned organization Hizb ut Tahrir.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Mainul Hasan said, Hizbut Tahrir is a banned organization. Because of this, they cannot enter the field openly. So trying to get off in a hurry. Our operation against them is going on.
In the video posted on social media, it was seen that school-college students are marching in front of Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Dhaka on Sunday (October 6) with flags covered with black ink. The procession was taken out under the banner of 'Conscious Teachers and Students, St. Joseph's Higher Secondary School'.
In the procession, the students carried the flag written in black Kalema as well as the flag of Bangladesh and the flag of Palestine. The banner of the procession read - Protest against the taunting of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by an Indian priest.
In addition, slogans were heard in that procession, 'One way of liberation, Khilafat-Khilafat', 'You are who I am, Muslim-Muslim'. Besides, last week students of Dhaka's Notre Dame College, Dhaka College, Wills Little Flower School were seen taking out separate processions. They had similar flags in their hands in the procession.
On the other hand, a video circulating on social media showed that a procession took out from the Kishoreganj Martyr Mosque under the banner of 'Tawhidi Janatar' in Kishoreganj last Friday. Apart from protesting the taunts of the Prophet, some in the procession were demanding the establishment of an Islamic caliphate. However, the locals said that some outsiders entered the procession, some of them were wearing black flags and colorful mufflers around their necks. Meanwhile, Fact Checker Kadruddin Shishir said on Facebook after verifying the information of the video that on that day, flags aligned with the alleged Islamic State or 'Isis' were flown.
Dhaka University teacher Shafi Md. Mustafa said, I see the so-called Islamic State or 'Isis' group using the black flag. Therefore, if Bangladesh uses this type of flag now, there will be a possibility of being subjected to a kind of tagging.
Head of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit. Masud Karim said, we are closely monitoring this matter. We are also investigating who may be involved. Besides, some people are being interrogated. There are many whom we have kept under watch.
