DHAKA – In a bid to halt the growing wave of extremism in the country, Bangladeshi government has started giving cash rewards to the militants who promise to give up the path of terrorism.

According to media report, at least two militants who belonged to notorious Neo-JMB group have already claimed the payments. The initiative is part of Bangladeshi government’s plan to rehabilitate the extremists by offering financial and legal assistance.

The Neo-JMB militant group is consider an affiliate of the Middle East based Islamic State –also known as Daesh or ISIS. It is a splinter group of country’s top terrorism organization Jama’atul Mujahideen.

The “reformed militants” also appeared on the national television last week as they received the check. They were identified as Abdul Hakim and Mahmudul Hasan Bijoyeach.

Reports suggested that each of them was rewarded with 500,000 Taka (about $6,350) by the Bangladeshi government. However, the crime for which they were arrested is not clearly mentioned.

A video shared by VOA News showed Abdul Hakim saying at the TV that he had chosen the dark path,” however, he had “realized the mistake.”

The 22-year-old Hakim further said: “We do not believe in terrorism. Everyone who has gone on this path should return.”

This year over 70 people have died in Bangladesh in extremism related violence including Dhaka cafe attack claimed by the Islamic State group.

No Bangladesh Government isn't that stupid. They must have provided information about their recruiters.

IS fighters in Syria are mostly mercenaries, though... But not sure how useful it would be in Bangladesh...

Why BD govt. has certainly become so pious? This Awami League dirty leadership itself is a catalyst for setting up terrorist organizations. BAL anti-democratic activities have fallen sharply on the youth of the country and they are finding extremism a way of relieving their stress and dissatisfaction on the degradation of political system and social fabrics.

They are bringing their citizens inside the system and promoting them to lay down armed struggle. Good step! Just like many Naxals surrendered or what Baloch Militants are doing. Resolving issues through dialogue is the way forward.

Information about recruiters will terminate the entire sleeper cells behind that guy . If that is the case then its welcomed.

You aren't terrorizing anyone, remember what the Brits said about Bengalis and their "globular legs", implying their weak stature & build. After all, you lot are the real Bengalis, real Sher E Banglas.

Also I personally believe the neo JMB doesn't have more than 50 members. Half of them are already dead.

I agree with this part.

On topic: Now many BD youngsters will run to register themselves as terrorists, only to give up the tag for money.

And? 12 terrorists in 3 different hide out were killed in a single day 5 days ago.

How do you think Police found them? They aren't Idiot. If youths join IS and help the police to get the Area commander, Its win win for all. 5 lakh is very small amount of Money for a Government that keeps 30B in reserve.
