AL our friend
Hefajat-e Islam Ameer Shah Ahmed Shafi yesterday said his organisation had no rivalry with the ruling Awami League or Sheikh Hasina-led government.
"The Awami League and Chhatra League activists and people of Hasina-led government are our friends. We do not have any rivalry with them.
"If someone says we have rivalry with Awami League, then it will be a wrong perception," he said, adding that they never blamed Hasina-led government.
Shafi made the comments while addressing a gathering of thousands of Hefajat activists at Laldighi Maidan in Chittagong city.
He said, "If a person is good then the world will be good for him. If we become good then the government will appear good (to us). But if we become bad then the government will oppress us."
Earlier, Hefajat Secretary General Junaid Babunagari told the programme that they would not tolerate defamation of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) by anyone.
"Our activists will not take law into their own hands; rather we will stage demonstrations to pass a law so that these people receive death penalty for defaming the Prophet," said Junaid.
Several other Hefajat leaders from Chittagong and Dhaka also addressed the programme titled 'Shane Resalat Conference', a religious discussion session on the life of the Prophet.
