On Saturday afternoon, Hefazat-e-Islam’s Naib-e-Amir and Khelafat Majlis’s Secretary General Dr. Ahmad Abdul Quader issued a strong warning, stating that if the demand is not met, they will announce a more stringent action plan. “This is our first warning. If our demand is not met, we will make even tougher announcements in the future. Do not provoke us to take to the streets against you. If the nation rises, Hefazat will rise, and no advisor will be able to stay in this country,” he cautioned.
Speaking at the historic Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital on Saturday, Dr. Ahmad Abdul Quader made these remarks during Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh’s grand rally. He emphasized, “Our demand is clear. We are demanding on behalf of the Muslims that the formation of the Women’s Development Commission be immediately revoked. This commission will not be allowed to carry out any development. We demand that the proposals presented by this commission be withdrawn. The nation has rejected it. There is no other option.”
“We are demanding that the issue of ‘human corridors’ be decided through discussions with the people of the country. By involving them, decisions will not be made without their knowledge,” he added.
The Secretary General of Khelafat Majlis also stressed the need for the trial of the genocide at Shapla Chattar to be conducted in July-August. He further mentioned that the Awami League should also be tried as a party. Until the trial is completed, there will be no opportunity for them to participate in any election.
