Following the conclusion of the Islamic Conference in Bangladesh at the historic Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka, a nine-point demand was made, one of which was to bar Saad Kandhalvi from entering the country. On Tuesday morning, thousands of people from all over Bangladesh, mostly madrasah instructors and students, flocked to the location where the Islamic scholars used loudspeakers to present their nine demands to the government.
Muhammad Saad Kandhlawi is a Muslim preacher and scholar from India. Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi, the founder of Tablighi Jamaat, is his great-grandson. He is the leader of the Tablighi Jamaat’s Nizamuddin faction.
They also called for justice for the recent assault on defenceless students at the Tongi Ijtema venue by supporters of Saad Kandhalvi. According to United News of Bangladesh (UNB), they also want justice for the 2013 Shapla Chattar killings, the removal of all false accusations against Islamic scholars, restrictions on Saad’s supporters’ access to the Kakrail Mosque, and an official declaration that the Qadianis are not Muslims in Bangladesh.
This gathering is being held in opposition to Delhi’s Maulana Muhammad Saad Al Kandhalvi, a well-known member of the Tablighi Jamaat, by supporters of the late Maulana Zubair ul Hassan. The Islamic authorities who spoke at the gathering urged strict devotion to Islamic teachings and highlighted solidarity within the Muslim community.
They insisted that Bishwa Ijtema be held all at once rather than in two stages. The speakers also asserted that the government must prevent counterfeiting since consumers will never accept anything that is not authentic. Since the fake Tablighi Jamaat has benefited from its cooperation with the former fascist regime in a number of ways, it is unable to survive. Since they are currently circling the temporary administration, they must be resisted.
Following the occasion, prayers were led by Shah Mohammad Mohibullah Babunagari, a Deobandi Islamic scholar from Bangladesh. Earlier, as early as daybreak, thousands of adherents of the Tablighi Jamaat started congregating at Suhrawardy Udyan. By midday, the space and its environs were packed with people. The additional strain of cars, primarily long-distance buses that transported the guests from several districts, resulted in heavy traffic jams outside the venue since the morning and caused major delays across Dhaka.
