Hifazat-e Islam has threatened to cut off
Chittagong from the rest of the country if they are not allowed to hold a
'convention' at the city's Jamiyatul Falah mosque.
Meanwhile, the local Awami League has warned of 'dire
consequences' if the administration permits Hifazat to hold the 'convention' in
the mosque.
A statement issued by Hifazat on Tuesday said that they have
holding this convention since 2010.
"This is neither a political rally
nor a political party's programme. If the government prevent this grand
convention, then tens of thousands of 'Towhidis' have to take the streets," it
said.
The statement threatened to cut off the port city from the rest of
country, if not granted the permission.
It said the government would be
liable for any 'unwanted situation'.
Meanwhile, the local Awami League
has called upon the administration and police not to permit Hifazat to hold the
convention at the Jamiyatul Falah mosque.
The party's Chittagong
Metropolitan unit president ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury said in a statement that
Hifazat-e Islam wants to turn Bangladesh into a 'terrorist state' using
'religion as a shield'.
"In the recent past, Hifazat people had held the
port city to ransom by unleashing a wave of violence after being permitted to
hold a rally. They had also thrown shoes at the Khatib of the Jamiyatul Falah
mosque," Chowdhury said in the statement.
"They cannot enter the city to
hold the rally. If they enter the consequence will be serious", Chowdhury said
in the statement.
