The remand prayer says, on March 26, last year, accused of the case Maulana Mamunul Haque had a meeting with unknown Jamaat, Islami Chhatra Shibir, BNP activists, militant and fundamentalist activists and leaders inside the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, when they made conspiracy to attack on different installations in the country in a bid to bring the downfall of the government through making remours.

Accordingly, the accused people attempted to violate the constitution of the country defaming Bangabandhu’s image in different places of the country including Brahmanbaria and Hathazari of Chattagram. They wanted to destroy state property, ransack installations of mosque to make the country a fundamentalist one, unstable and ineffective.
