Radical Islamic advocacy group of madrassah teachers and students ‘Hefazat-e-Islam’ [“Protectorate of Islam”] which operates in Bangladesh is occupying the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Joint Secretary General of Hefazat-e-Islam Allama Mamunul Haque was held on the afternoon of April 3, 2021 at the luxurious Royal Resort Sonargaon in Narayanganj district – near Dhaka city with someone else's young wife. After the matter became known in the area, an agitated crowd entered the resort and confronted the woman and Mamunal Haque. Upon receiving the news, the police went there and rescued Mamunul Haque from the hands of the agitated crowd. Videos circulated on social media showed Mamunul altercating with locals. He is heard saying that the woman is his second wife. Sonargaon police officials had to detain him in order to protect him from the crowds. But as rumours of his arrest circulated, stick-wielding supporters of Hifazat launched an attack on the resort, vandalised it and threw brickbats in a bid to free him. Later Hifazat supporters vandalised cars and burnt tyres blocking the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway.1 Mamunul is also the Secretary General of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, a political party promoting Caliphate rule. Mamunul is particularly infamous as a hardline Islamist leader who frequent speaks against atheists, secularists and anti-Islamists.
