Organisations using the name Awami or League mushroomed in recent years and they are criticised for their involvement in various controversial works.
“There are statements from Olama League that support the Hifazat demands. There are extortion charges against many other organisations using Awami League name,” he said.
He was speaking at a discussion meeting at the Bangabandhu Avenue on Sunday.
“I saw Awami Prochar (publicity) League, Awami Olama league and Projonmo League on the street,” he said adding “these are shops opened in the name of politics and those must be closed.”
“You cannot count those in numbers. Those grew like mushroom and when the national or party landmark days come they become involved in extortion,” he complained.
“These organisations are tarnishing the party reputation.” He urged the party to resist these orgnaisations and their activities.
“Where are the headquarters of these organisations? Please come forward to shut those.”
He requested the media that if any Awami League leader becomes a guest in the programme of those organisations, not to cover them.
