Govt not arresting Islamic scholars: State Minister
State Minister for Religious
Affairs Faridul Haque Khan on Thursday said the government is not arresting
Islamic scholars in the name of arresting Hefazat-e-Islam leaders.
"We have not arrested the
scholars (Alem), only those who carried out terrorism in the name of Islam have
been arrested," he said while attending a discussion arranged by
Bangladesh United Islami Party.
Faridul said the government is
taking action against those who are the real culprits.
He added that those who post on
Facebook saying the Islamic scholars have been arrested, are the enemy of Islam
and the country.
