Government Backs Atheists: Hefajat-e Islam

[Editor: The Blog writers who were apprehended by the Bangladesh authorities were not doing any sort of terrorist activities. In fact they were simply pointing out the pitfalls of established cults/religions--so what is wrong in that? But unfortunately, with due respect I would like to point that, all these Fundamentalist Islamic groups are doing just the opposite, even today. So, if one applies his/her common sense, he/she should get the direction in this issue]

Long march towards Dhaka will be spread across the country if the government resists the Hefajat-e Islam activists on their way to Dhaka, Junaed Babunagri, secretary of Hefajat said Friday.

The leaders and activists of the party were asked to take position wherever they will be obstructed by police and ruling party men during Saturday long march.

Addressing a press conference at Lalbagh Madrasa Babunagri also accused the government of ‘backing the atheists to foil their long march’.

He said government was playing dual role by giving them permission to hold a rally at Motijheel and supporting the blockade programme called by the ‘atheists and bloggers’ of Gonojagorn Mancha.
