Hifazat-e-Islam’s central leader, Allama Mhuimuddin Rabbani, stated that while Hifazat does not engage in politics or seek power, political parties must align themselves with Hifazat’s demands. He emphasized that no one can attain power by bypassing Hifazat. He also criticized the current government for its oppressive tactics against Hifazat over the past 16 years, which resulted in numerous martyrs. He stated that no election should take place in Bangladesh without justice for the martyrs. Rabbani also condemned Israel’s violent actions in Palestine, calling it a disgrace to humanity, and expressed deep concerns about the persecution of Muslims in India.
