At a rally, Hefazat leader Maulana Junayed Al Habib condemned the Women’s Reform Commission, calling its report anti-Islamic and against the Qur’an. “This entire commission must be dismantled,” he declared. “You came to power in 2013 at the cost of Hefazat leaders’ blood. Withdraw all cases against our leaders or face another uprising.” Mufti Jaber Kashemi added, “Tomorrow’s gathering is not anti-women. Islam has given women the highest respect and rights. This protest is against those using women’s rights as a pretext to push harmful agendas.”
