Branding Hefazate-e-Islam as a platform of war criminals, Bangladesh Islami Front (BIF) on Friday demanded that the government tries its leaders.
“Apart from Jamaat and Muslim League, Hefazate-e-Islam was against the Liberation War in 1971. They’re not only war criminals, they also misinterpreted and distorted Islam,” BIF joint general secretary MA Momen said while addressing a press conference at the National Press Club.
While reading a written statement, Momen said Hefazate-e-Islam took different names in different times in a bid to misguide people. “During Pakistan era, they formed a party named Nezam-e-Islam….they also formed Mujahid Force during the Liberation War and used Qaumi madrasas as their camps. They killed people and violated women like Al-Badr, Al-Shams.”
He urged the investigation panel of the International Crimes Tribunals to investigate their activities during the Liberation War.
Momen also demand enacting a blasphemy law in the upcoming parliament session to bring to justice the atheists.

If Hefazat-e-Islam is a platform of the WCs who are they? Are they paid servants of the govt or other renegades in the guise of ‘alems’? In fact these so-called moulanas are the termites who eat into the core of Islam sabotaging the unity among the ulemas and fostering anti-Islamic values by misconstruing Islamic teachings and codes. They seem to have been serving the vested quarters by carrying their guns on their shoulder. They are actually an abominable stigma on the body of Islam.
