Hefazat-e Islam’s central secretary general, Allama Sajidur Rahman, warned that Brahmanbaria will be brought to a standstill if former Housing and Public Works Minister R.A.M. Obaidul Moktadir Chowdhury is granted bail. The threat was issued during a protest rally held at Brahmanbaria Press Club on Tuesday, August 4th. Rahman’s speech referenced past incidents including alleged massacres, killings linked to protests against Indian Prime Minister Modi, and the “July killings”. Details of the alleged incidents were not immediately available. The statement signals a potential escalation of tensions within the region. Authorities have yet to respond to the ultimatum issued by the Hefazat-e Islam leader. This development raises concerns about further political and social disruption in Brahmanbaria.
