Incumbent leader of the Islamic spiritual hub of Maizbhandar Syed Saifuddin Ahmed Maizbhandari feared the extremist Hefazat-e-Islam appeared as a threat to the country’s stability as it was spearheading a violent hate campaign with an evil political motive despite being a non-political forum.
“Hefazat alongside Jamaat-e-Islam appeared as a threat to Bangladesh’s stability,” he said this in a statement on Thursday referring to the violence in parts of the country while the country was celebrating the golden jubilee of the 1971 independence.
He said the violence could in no way be the answer to any injustice reminding all Islam’s spiritual essence of peace and compassion and added that efforts to create instability was worse than killing anyone.
Ahmed particularly criticized the Hefazat activities during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit and asked “what loss Modi incurred and what Bangladesh gained by their actions”.
“The holy Prophet (PBUH) preached for compassion, tolerance and generosity. So a Muslim can never walk in the path of terrorism and destruction,” he said.
