A religious gathering featuring Islamic speaker Gias Uddin Taheri was held in Shimulghar area of Madhabpur upazila, Habiganj, on Saturday afternoon, defying Section 144 imposed by the local administration. Villagers escorted Taheri to the event as the main speaker, while police and army personnel were present at the scene. The administration had earlier restricted public gatherings at the venue.
According to local sources, a powerful group allegedly tried to stop the event, prompting the administration to enforce Section 144. However, organizers and residents ignored the order and proceeded with the gathering. Several locals said they opposed what they viewed as an unjust attempt to halt a religious event, insisting that the program was peaceful and posed no threat of disorder. They also alleged that false posters were circulated to influence the authorities.
No official statement was available from the Madhabpur upazila administration, but reports indicated that the event concluded peacefully and the situation remained normal afterward.
