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]
In 2000, the committee's leaders established the secular heritage group to raise youth awareness of, and pride in, Bengali history and culture.[3]
