Bangladesh bans 鈥業slamist鈥 TV station
Print Edition
BANGLADESH moved to counter a deadly wave of Islamist attacks yesterday, ordering an Islamic TV station to stop broadcasting and telling schools to report any missing students.
The measures come after several suspected Islamist extremists were reported to be fans of the television channel, while others were found to be from elite universities but had been missing for months.
A Bangladesh cabinet committee decided to ban Peace TV from the country, information minister Hasanul Haq Inu told journalists yesterday.
The station is run by Indian doctor-turned-preacher Zakir Naik, founder and president of Mumbai-based Islamic Research Foundation, and its programs are aired from Dubai.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina earlier in the day called on every school, college and university to “create a list of absent students and publish it.”
Bangladesh has been reeling from dozens of attacks, mainly targeting secular activists or religious minorities.
“We will be rigorous,” the premier said. “We must uproot militancy and terrorism from Bangladesh.”
Three of the alleged jihadists who participated in an attack on a Dhaka cafe last week, in which 20 hostages were murdered, attended top schools and universities in the capital.
