It said, "We witnessed an undesirable and hateful scene at the program of two organizations held in front of the Chittagong Press Club on May 28. Without any need for explanation, we strongly condemn this incident."
"We were not aware in advance about the programs of the two organizations held at the Press Club that day. So there was no question of ordering any of our personnel to go there."
"Jamaat has no involvement in the incident that took place that day. Therefore, Jamaat will not bear any responsibility for this incident. The responsibility for the untoward incident that day lies solely with the concerned persons present there."
The Chittagong Metropolitan Jamaat also
said that the activities of an organization worker named Akash Chowdhury who attended the event without the permission of the higher authorities are extremely condemnable. Jamaat-e-Islami is known nationwide as a disciplined and responsible organization.
"Jamaat-e-Islami is working day and night to establish a welfare state. We are in no way in favor of condoning such activities. Therefore, in light of the central view, Akash Chowdhury has been expelled from the organization for breach of discipline and taking the above issues into consideration."
