A faction of the Tabligh Jamaat on Monday blamed the administration for their internal clash.
Followers of Indian preacher Maulana Muhammad Saad Al Kandhalvi brought the allegation at a press conference at the Dhaka Reporters Unity.
At least one person was killed and more than 200 people were also injured in a series of clashes between followers of Maulana Saad Kandhalvi and Maulana Jubaer over establishing supremacy at the Ijtema ground in Tongi on Saturday.
“Such an incident could have been avoided the administration taken measures in advance,” Maulana Ashraf Ali, a spokesperson for the faction, said at the briefing.
He said, they had written to the Home Ministry several times urging it to resolve the issue over the control of the Ijtema ground.
Ashraf further said, the Religious Affairs Ministry issued a circular saying that the two factions would observe their programmes separately. “But the circular was cancelled one week later,” he said.
The group sought the Prime Minister’s intervention to resolve the issue.
It also came up with seven proposals including holding programmes by the factions on separate days.
