Nirmul Committee

The Nirmul Committee was founded on 19 January 1992 by 101 Bangladeshi activists to seek justice for the genocide carried out during the Bangladesh liberation war.[1] Operating in Bangladesh and Britain they claim the policies of the Jamaat-e-Islami are similar to those of the British National Party.[2] The London branch protested against the arrival of Delwar Hossain Sayeedi at a Mosque in east london and demanded his British visa be revoked.[3]
