Then after 2 and half month mr abu yusuf coming out of prison,And he built a non-governmental organization (NGO) Association for Mass Advocacy Network (AMAN) empire in front of everyone’s eyes. That NGO brings huge money from home and abroad.
Bangakdeshi leader mr Shahriar Kabir, president of ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee of 1971, has raised the question of how the NGO supporting Bachchu Razakar is running the NGO without the eyes of all the intelligence agencies of the country. The incident happened on March 30, 2012. Abu Yusuf helped Abul Kalam Azad alias Bachchu Razakar, who was sentenced to death on charges of crimes against humanity, to escape to Pakistan through Hili border on April 2 of that year after first hiding in his own house in Agargaon.
After that, how did Bachchu Razakar escape from the eyes of law and order forces, there was a commotion in the country. After the arrest of Abu Yusuf by RAB, the force said in a press conference that the arrested Abu Yusuf had helped Bachchu Razakar escape in a Peasland Company microbus.
Bachchu Razakar’s son Muhammad Mushfique Billah Jihad, Abu Yusuf and Bachchu Razakar were in that car. After that, Abu Yusuf admitted his guilt in his statement in court. He was later expelled from the National University for this crime.
Almost 11 years have passed since then. What is Abu Yusuf doing now, where is he, after searching for answers to these questions, it is known that he has now built an NGO empire. He runs an NGO named Association for Mass Advocacy Network (AMAN) at One By B address in Shyamoli Road No. 1 of the capital. Working in the Rohingya camp. However, there is evidence that militants are being financed there
After investigation, it is known that apart from Aman, this Abu Yusuf is also running some subsidiary organizations in the name of Child Development Center, Al Imdad Foundation.
Talked with Abu Yusuf about these matters. He told local media ekattor television a, “My organization was registered in 1995. Till 2002 it ran on local funds. Then it stopped. Then in 2012 I was arrested and spent 2 months and 22 days in prison.
Later in 2015 I started it (NGO) again. It now runs on domestic and foreign funds. Money comes from America, England and South Africa. When asked about the current status of the cooperation case due to Bachchu Razakar’s escape, he said, “The High Court has stayed the case.” I don’t remember the exact time, but probably in 2015-2016 the High Court stayed it.
“During your arrest, you admitted in your statement that you helped Bachchu Razakar escape.”
In response to the said information, he said, ‘Yes, I admitted.’
When asked, “At that time, Jamaat-e-Islami gave a statement on your behalf?” He said, “I think it did.”
He also said, ‘I receive and spend funds following all the rules and regulations of the NGO Bureau. I work on health, education, forestry, food and several other issues. There is no problem in my work, if there was, the government would have stopped it.
Expressing surprise about Abu Yusuf’s management of the NGO, Shahriar Kabir, president of the 1971 ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee, told NewsBangla, “The government must look into how such a criminal is running the NGO with a stay order from the High Court, ignoring the eyes of all the intelligence agencies of the country.” But there is evidence that militants are being financed there
He also said, “There should be an investigation on this.” If investigated, it will be known how he is walking around in a healthy condition and doing NGO business despite committing such a big crime. It is in our law, in the criminal code that aiding and abetting crime is equally criminal. Abu Yusuf Bachchu helped Razakar escape. So he is also a criminal.
Shahriar Kabir said, “Since this is a war crime case, now the tribunal has to go to the Supreme Court and contest this stay in the High Court.” Appeal to the Supreme Court will lift it. Then there will be no obstacle to arrest him. In this regard, RAB spokesman Commander Khandaker Al Moin told local ekattor television , “RAB arrested Abu Yusuf on the basis of specific information.” After his arrest, he was sent to court. Out on bail from the court, he is probably running NGO activities again with the permission of the NGO Bureau. “If intelligence agencies or NGO bureaus get information about any crime through the management of this NGO, necessary measures will be taken subject to investigation on the basis of that information.”
