Adviser Mahfuz Alam stated that Bengali nationalism was used as a pretext to impose anti-Islamic sentiments on Islamic scholars and madrasa students. He accused the ruling class of harboring Islamophobia, claiming that recent mass uprisings have partially countered it, but the struggle is far from over. Speaking at an Iftar gathering at Tamirul Millat, he emphasized the importance of ensuring that no religious or ideological bias undermines citizens’ rights. He called for equal treatment of all and urged the state to safeguard everyone’s rights.
