The government should ban Kadianis and the followers of Ahle Hadith because they are not Muslims, Hefazat Secretary General Junaid Babunagari has said, claiming that those who believe in Allah cannot live in Bangladesh.
He made the comment yesterday evening in an Islamic conference at the Laldighi ground in Chittagong city.
He also asked the government to “withdraw Gonojagoron Moncho” labelling its activists as “Shahbagi atheists.”
Junaid also demanded immediate release and withdrawal of “false” cases against all Hefazat leaders and Islami scholars including Mufti Wakkas and Harun Izahar, who had been behind bars.
“Our battle is against the atheists, Kadianis and Ahle Hadith followers and their associates because they give derogatory speeches against Prophet Muhammad,” he said.
He also said Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and the followers of other religions could live in the country but the atheist could not.
The Hefazat leader alleged that the followers of Ahle Hadith had connections with the JMB and other militant groups and the Kadianis were not followers of Islam at all. “So, the government should ban them and they would have to live in the country like the minority communities,” he declared.
