Leaders of Bangladesh’s Islamist political party Khelafat Majlis have expressed grave concern over what they describe as growing threats to the lives of those who led the July uprising. In a central executive meeting held in Dhaka, party officials alleged that administrative weakness and deteriorating law and order have emboldened violent groups. They claimed that fascist elements are targeting movement leaders to derail the upcoming national election.

The party criticized the administration and Election Commission for failing to take effective measures against these threats, citing the unarrested assailant of activist Osman Hadi as a key example of negligence. Senior leaders, including Maulana Sakhawat Hossain and Dr. Ahmad Abdul Kader, called for intensified police patrols, recovery of illegal arms, and nationwide crackdowns to ensure a level playing field for all political actors.

Khelafat Majlis also opposed proposed restrictions on religious gatherings during the election period, urging the Election Commission to withdraw such plans. The meeting concluded with prayers for the recovery of injured activist Sharif Osman Hadi.
