The imam was upset and obstructed by League leader Upazila Chhatra for discussing idols and sculptures in Waz and Khutba before Friday prayers in Moulvibazar. In that incident, there was a fight between the BCL leaders and the worshipers. Cases were even brought against the imam and the worshiper. As time passes after this incident, it is becoming increasingly popular with the local population. Such activities by the BCL leader have caused backlash from devotees across the upazila, including their own areas. Inside the mosque, the leader argues with the leader about religious issues and condemns and protests against such provocative activities. It is known that last Friday, the Imam of the Western Bachirpur Mosque Jame Maulana Mohammad. Mamunul Haque spoke about idols and sculptures in waz and khutbah before Friday prayers. During the discussion, the general secretary of the Upazila Chhatra League, Iqbal Bhuiyan, interrupted the Imam’s words. Excited, he launched the challenge. Said, statues and sculptures are not one. And the Imam has to explain to him that the sculpture and the idol are one. In response to his question, the imam of the mosque asked him to remain calm and at the end of the prayer he would explain the matter in more detail based on the Qur’an and the Hadith. But even then, the leader of the Upazila Chhatra League was not calming down. Suddenly, the worshipers were agitated by his question and got into a discussion with the Imam. The imam of the mosque explained the incident in various ways, calming everyone down and offering prayers. After the prayers, the BCL leaders and the faithful began to argue again.

Mamunul Haque told the media that during the talks on Friday he did not say anything that there would be a fight over the issue. Even then he tried to resolve the problem between the two parties.
