Post on Jamaat-e-Islami not written by journalist Khaled Muhiuddin
A post containing a photo of talk show host and journalist Khaled Muhiuddin has recently circulated on social media platform Facebook with the claim that it was written by Muhiuddin about Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. However, verification shows it was not his article. Muhiuddin himself also confirmed the matter to Dismislab.
Recently, several Facebook posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) appeared under the title “Writing on Jamaat by Khaled Muhiuddin.” The posts praised a ten-volume book published by Jamaat-e-Islami on the July martyrs. Referring to the party’s contribution in publishing the book, the posts read: “I pray to Allah—may He grant Jamaat the reward for this work. Nearly six hundred biographies of martyrs, their identities, aspirations, families, accounts of martyrdom, the brutalities inflicted upon them—bringing all these together so excellently in colorful pages is beyond words.”
One such post shared from a Facebook page on August 19 had been shared more than 2,000 times and received over 6,000 reactions as of the writing of this report. In the comments section of the post, one user wrote, “Journalist Khaled Muhiuddin Bhai is a wise man.” Another commented, “I think today marks the moment of fulfillment in your journalism. You have presented such a wonderful investigative report. Thank you.”
Earlier in April, the same writing also circulated attributing to a Facebook ID under the name Khalid Muhammad. Since then, the post has continued to spread at times under the name of journalist Khaled Muhiuddin. Analysis shows the spelling of Muhiuddin’s name was not accurate in many of these posts. It was written as “Khaled Muhiuddin.” But on his official YouTube channel, the spelling of his name appears as “Khaled Muhiuddin.”
Dismislab sent screenshots and text of several such posts to journalist Khaled Muhiuddin on WhatsApp. Asked whether the writing on Jamaat-e-Islami was his, he said, “These words are not my statement.”
Notably, Jamaat-e-Islami published a ten-volume commemorative book, titled “Those Who Were Martyred in the Second Liberation,” on the martyrs of the July movement. The books are available in Bangla, English, and Arabic on a website called “Jamaat Online Library.” The Arabic and English editions of the book were unveiled on August 1.
