The Interior Ministry has already warned that the government will take a tough stance if it does not stop this ‘religious madness and disorder’.
On the other hand, Junaid Babungari, the central emir of Hefazat-e-Islam, has threatened to launch a “tough program” in the future if the demands are not met.
He told reporters on Kachari Road in Chittagong’s Hathazari Sadar on Sunday afternoon: We have been forced to call a strike. “
Claiming that the strike was ‘successful’, Hefazat Amir said: “In various places, small government forces and party cadres have attacked and injured our leaders and workers.
“The Naib Ameer in our custody has attacked Pir Sahib Abdul Hamid Hazur of Madhupur and many others. I strongly condemn and protest the attack. We demand that the government stop this attack ”.
