Shah Ahmad Shafi, ameer of Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, has said Hefazat has been a non-political organisation since the beginning and it will not be associated with any political party or alliance.
“Hefazat will continue its activities for the Islam and the country keeping its non-political stance unchanged,” he said in a statement on Saturday urging the media people not to link Hefazat to any political party or alliance.
He said people’s lives and property are at a great risk due to uncertainty and a chaotic situation created by the differences among major political parties.
“The conspirators from home and abroad are active in this situation, which is a threat for the interest of the country and its independence,” he said urging the political parties to reach an acceptable solution ending the path of anarchy.
