Spread Islamic culture to counter obscenity: Parwar

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar has called on literary and cultural activists to spread Islamic values through creative works to counter obscenity and what he described as un-Islamic cultural practices.

“Dhaka is not only the administrative capital but also the literary and cultural capital. Its poets, writers and artists must lead a nationwide cultural movement by promoting meaningful and authentic Islamic songs, poetry, stories, drama and films,” he said.

He was speaking as the chief guest at a ‘Cultural Leadership Programme’ organised by Deshiya Sangskritik Sangsad's Dhaka metropolitan unit at an auditorium in the capital on Friday (13 November).

Parwar said Islamic culture was rooted in the concept of Tawhid, or the oneness of Allah, and that literature and cultural activities should serve human welfare rather than merely provide entertainment.

Special guest Advocate Matiur Rahman Akand said political change could not succeed or endure without a cultural revolution.

The programme was chaired by Deshiya Sangskritik Sangsad President Saifullah Mansur.
