Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen in his statement to a Dhaka newspaper said, “Women will be killed if they are found to move around without wearing burqa (veil) from the first day of Jilhaj.”

Hello Nazim, thanks for your comment. Very truly said by you,”Dogs can bark but it doesn’t mean we will be scared!”. This should be the spirit which must be there within every Bangladeshi, particularly women. This can only teach these banned Islamic military groups a lesson that their threatning calls can not frighten brave Bangladeshis.
