Bangladesh’s interim government’s religious affairs adviser Dr. A F M Khalid Hossain has stated that anyone found guilty of insulting Islam will be promptly brought under the law. Speaking on Thursday, November 27, at an Ulema conference during a three-day religious gathering in Char Monai, Barishal, he urged citizens not to take the law into their own hands. Dr. Hossain assured that the government would act decisively against any form of religious disrespect, while acknowledging his own limitations within the administrative framework. The event was attended by prominent Islamic leaders including Islami Andolan Bangladesh’s Amir, Charmonai Pir Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim, and other senior clerics. During the conference, Mufti Mizanur Rahman Saeed was announced as the new president of the National Ulema-Mashayekh A’imma Council.
