Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal 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 Swadhinata Trust to raise youth awareness of, and pride in, Bengali history and culture.[3]
