The outfit is still active in different areas under different names.” In 2005, JMB blasted bombs in 63 Districts, killing two persons and injuring more than 400, to draw people's attention to its organisational strength and mission to establish Sharia law in Bangladesh.

Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina Wajed on September 9 told the Parliament that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chief, Khaleda Zia and Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) were spreading propaganda abroad through lobbyists resulting in losing the GSP (Generalised System of Preferences) facilities in US market, reports Daily Star.

Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein on November 5 called on the Government of Bangladesh to take urgent and concerted measures to ensure the protection of all those who are being 'threatened by extremists' operating in the country, reports New Nation. He said "At least five Bangladeshi writers and publishers as well as two foreign aid workers have been violently murdered this year in Dhaka and many more attacked and threatened, apparently by groups that believe they have the right to impose their views on others through wanton violence. The State must not allow extremist groups to take matters into their own hands. I urge political and religious leaders to consistently and unequivocally condemn this spate of vicious killings and threats against writers and publishers and anyone else who may be targeted by these groups. When people have been explicitly threatened with violence or murder, it is the duty of the State to provide them with effective protection."

Denying the existence of Islamic State (IS) in Bangladesh, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed on November 8 said a local and foreign conspiracy is afoot to establish that cohorts of IS are active in the country, reports The Daily Star. She said “Many quarters are pressing us to confess the IS existence in Bangladesh to create a situation here like the ones in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya. They want to bring Bangladesh in line with those countries and that is the part of their conspiracy. My question is, if they can take an acknowledgement from us of the existence of IS in Bangladesh, what will be the situation of our country? We don't want a situation in Bangladesh like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or Libya.”
