According to a media report of July 16, two Islamist groups– the Jihadi Party and the Hizbut Tauhid - have intensified their activities in the southwestern zone. Police have also arrested 14 activists of these groups, including a minor from Jhenidah, on an unspecified date. According to the police, they are suspected to have links with the underworld criminal gangs. Further, the police have also seized leaflets of these groups. While the Jihadi Party declares that economic salvation of the distressed people through an armed struggle, among other things, is its objective, the Hizbut Tauhid, on the other hand, has indicated that it opposes the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and has also declared the police to be its enemy. The police also suspect that Hizbut Tauhid may be involved in smuggling of arms and explosives into the country and may also be attempting to incite religious fanaticism among the populace.
