He came up with the remark when Hefajat leaders from Sylhet and Sunamganj districts, led by Sylhet city Hefajat president Maulana Sahinur Pasha Chowdhury, called on him at Hathazari Madrasah in Chittagong in the morning, according to a Hefajat press release issued from Sylhet.
“Many are now thinking that Hefajat’s activities have come to a standstill…it’s not right. Our movement will continue until our 13-point demand is met,” the release said quoting Shafi.
“The country having 90 percent Muslims is now divided into two camps. Those staying with Hefajat are believers while staying its opposite camp atheists”, said Shafi.
During the half-an-hour meeting, the Hefajat chief called on the party activists to strengthen the party’s movement against atheists and anti-Islamic elements at the grassroots level.
Ex-MP Pasha Chowdhury told he Hefajat chief that one crore people of Sylhet division, a land of 350 saints, are ready to strengthen Hefajat activities as there has been mass awakening that started from Chittagong, another land of 12 saints.
Hefajat demands include restoring the phrase ‘Complete faith and trust in the Almighty Allah’ in the constitution, repealing all the laws contrary to the Holy Quran and Sunnah and enacting a harsher anti-blasphemy law.
Sunamganj district Hefajat Ameer Maulana Abdul Basir, joint convener Mohibur Rahman and Sylhet Hefajat leaders Maulana Ali Noor, Maulana Tayebur Rahman Chowdhury, Maulana Syed Salim Kasemi, Maulana Akhtaruzzaman and Maulana Matiur Rahman were among the delegation members.
ALLAMA SHAFI SAYS, TO A TEAM OF SYLHETI ISLAMIC SCHOLARS WHO VISITED HIM THAT “ NONE CAN DESTROY HEFAJOT-E-ISLAM, COUNTRY’S LARGEST ISLAMIC ORGANISATION & THE ENEMIES OF ISLAM WOULD BE DEFEATED, INSHA-ALLAH. APOSTATES MUST BE PUNISHED:
Emotive but very poorly educate and of low intelligence, Hasina is being used by the enemies of Islam. The sooner she realises this fact the better. Country’s 87% Muslim would never surrender to the forces of apostates, agnostic, Atheists and the communists. Our state as an independent state exists only because it was created in 1947 by the name of Islam for the cause of Islam. That ofcourse, never said or intended to eliminate all the non Muslims. Islam has no such provision. This is another evil propaganda against Islam. And ignorant Hasina playing this card and reciting this ‘MANTRA’; parrot fashion! What a pity!
