Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, a Qawmi madrasa-based non-political organization, remains divided over leadership and direction despite recent efforts to restore unity. The group’s central committee has been largely inactive, and internal rifts deepened before and after the thirteenth national election. A sub-committee has been formed to resolve disputes, while some leaders have been expelled for breaching organizational discipline. Recent meetings in Dhaka and Chattogram discussed reconciliation and future coordination, but the organization has yet to resume full-scale central activities.
Formed in 2010 under Allama Shah Ahmad Shafi to oppose anti-Islamic policies, Hefazat gained prominence through its 13-point movement and the 2013 Shapla Chattar rally. Following years of state repression and leadership changes, including the deaths of key figures, the group fractured into multiple factions. Some leaders aligned with different political alliances during recent elections, further weakening Hefazat’s unified stance.
Current leaders say efforts are underway to restore organizational discipline and revive Hefazat’s religious unity after the Hajj season. They plan to pursue key demands, including withdrawal of old cases and justice for the Shapla Chattar killings.
