Jamaat leaders meet British high commissioner

A delegation of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, led by its Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman, today met with British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke at the latter's residence.

During the meeting, the Jamaat delegation submitted a protest memorandum regarding 'misleading and baseless' comments made recently by a member of the British Parliament about Bangladesh and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.

The meeting was held in a cordial and amicable atmosphere, Jamaat said in a press release today.

Both parties expressed their views on the development and progress of Bangladesh.

The Jamaat delegation included Nayeb-e-Ameer and former MP Dr Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, Secretary General and former MP Professor Mia Golam Parwar, Professor Dr Mahmudul Hasan, and Assistant Secretary General Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair.
