Agartala, June 12 – In a press conference held on Wednesday at the Central Town Jame Mosque in Shantipara, Agartala, mosque committee members and local residents collectively demanded strict legal action against Shahjahan Islam, in light of the allegations made against him. However, they also emphasized the importance of protecting innocent family members from undue harassment.

Committee members made it clear that while Shahjahan must be held accountable if found guilty, his family should not suffer unjust consequences. They urged both society and the administration to distinguish between the accused and their relatives, ensuring that innocent individuals are not subjected to social or legal punishment.

Speaking at the conference, a mosque committee member said, “Whoever the offender may be, they must be brought to justice. However, if their family members are not guilty, allowing them to live in peace is an act of humanity.”

This balanced and humane approach has been widely appreciated by the community. Residents in the area lauded the mosque committee’s leadership for promoting peace, justice, and communal harmony. The message resonated strongly, especially at a time when public emotions can often lead to collective blame and social alienation.

The initiative taken by the Central Town Jame Mosque reflects a broader call for responsible civic behavior and a commitment to upholding human dignity. By focusing on lawful justice rather than collective punishment, the community has set a meaningful example of compassion and fairness.

Observers and local leaders praised the press conference for encouraging social unity and sending a clear message that justice must be pursued with sensitivity and care for those not involved in wrongdoing.
