A mass signature campaign demanding that Qadianis be declared non-Muslims by the state was launched in Dhaka on Friday. The event took place at the north gate of the National Mosque Baitul Mukarram, organized by religious groups including the Sammilito Khatme Nabuwat Parishad. Various clerics such as Maulana Mohiuddin Rabbani, Maulana Rashid Ahmad, and others attended the inauguration, where participants from different professions joined the initiative.

Speakers at the event stated that public opinion on this issue has existed for a long time and that the collected signatures will be formally submitted to the relevant government authorities. They emphasized that the campaign will continue across different districts of the country, with plans to submit all collected signatures within a set timeframe.

Religious leaders at the event argued that declaring Qadianis as non-Muslims would protect the core identity of Islam and end long-standing religious and social confusion. They cited examples of other Muslim-majority countries where similar declarations have been made.
