Tasnim Jara questions Jamaat over obstructing burial of freedom fighter Manik Pashari

Physician and former National Citizen Party (NCP) leader Tasnim Jara questioned Jamaat-e-Islami on Monday over its obstruction of the burial of freedom fighter Manik Pashari in Pirojpur. In a Facebook post she asked what Jamaat would do if it gained state power, and said the party had opposed Bangladesh's 1971 independence. Pashari, plaintiff in a crimes-against-humanity case against the late Jamaat leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee, was buried early Sunday in Chitolia village, Pirojpur Sadar upazila, under tight police security, amid hindrance from local Jamaat leaders and activists. According to the family, a first grave dug was filled in by local Jamaat activists, and the burial was completed after midnight with help from village police. Jara said a Jamaat assistant secretary had called Pashari a fake freedom fighter, a claim she attributed to the post. She said verifying status was for state institutions and courts.

Where accounts differ. UNB reports Pashari's burial early Sunday with police security and does not mention the family's account that the first grave was filled in, which only Dainik Purbokone reports; Dainik Purbokone also says he died Saturday at age 87.
