ISLAMABAD: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman said on Tuesday that those responsible for hacking his social media accounts have been identified, and efforts are underway to uncover the masterminds behind the <a href="https://www.pakistantv.com/article/microsoft-disrupts-cybercrime-service-linked-to-aienabled-fraud" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" rel="noopener noreferrer">cyberattack</a>, Bangladeshi media reported. He made these remarks while addressing a rally organized by the 11-party alliance at the Chattogram Port Authority School and College ground on Monday, according to The Daily Star. Shafiqur said his X&nbsp;account had been compromised to spread &ldquo;vile language&rdquo; and derogatory remarks targeting women, aiming to tarnish his image. &ldquo;Today, mothers see the 11-party alliance as the only guarantee of their dignity. On one hand, a certain party promises &lsquo;family cards&rsquo;; on the other, it lays hands on our mothers and sisters and threatens to strip them of their dignity,&rdquo; he said. He warned that such attacks would not be tolerated, adding, &ldquo;My mother&rsquo;s honor is above all else.&rdquo; Shafiqur also criticized&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pakistantv.com/article/16-countries-to-send-57-observers-for-feb-12-election-bangladeshi-state-media" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" rel="noopener noreferrer">political rivals</a>, alleging that while his party supported families of martyrs and the injured after the July Uprising, a certain party engaged in extortion and land grabbing. He claimed that in the course of such &ldquo;occupying politics,&rdquo; the party was responsible for the deaths of 234 of its own members. Turning to the development of Chattogram, the Jamaat chief accused some individuals of &ldquo;selling out&rdquo; Chattogram port for personal gain over the decades. He promised that under the 11-party alliance, the port would remain in public hands and be upgraded to international standards free of corruption.
