Hefajat-e-Islam Bangladesh Ameer Moulana Shah Ahmed Shafi arrived at the Shapla Chattar venue of the Islamist group’s rally being held to push for its 13-point demand, including punishment of the bloggers who reportedly denigrated Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
The Hefajat chief reached the venue at 2.50 pm amid slogans by thousands of his supporters.
Shafi is likely to announce the next course of action programmes from the rally to realise their demands.
Earlier, the rally formally kicked off around 10.00am with recitation from the holy Quran with Hefajat-e-Islam’s Dhaka city unit ameer Moulana Nur Hossain Kashemi in the chair.
Leaders from different tiers of Hefajat-e-Islam across the country are addressing the rally with thousands of its supporters still pouring in.
