Recommendations for his expulsion have been sent to the central committee, said Mawlana mamunul Haquet
Hefazat’s Narayanganj Ameer Mawlana mamunul Haqueand Chairman of its Narayanganj
District Committee, has announced his resignation.
He made the announcement before devotees at the Dhaka International Technology (DIT)’s Railway Central Jame Mosque on Monday. A four-minute 13-second video of his announcement was posted on a Facebook group called “Shayakh Mawlana Abdul Awal Sahib Supporter” on Tuesday.
In the video, he is seen saying: “On the day of the protest RAB and police surrounded the mosque in such a way that they would shoot whenever we left the mosque.”
“If they went into action, we could not protect ourselves, we don't have any weapons. For that reason we remained confined to the mango tree area of the DIT mosque. It was later heard that 17 vehicles were burnt on Chittagong Road; the video footage shows who were responsible. Some terrorists have burned the vehicles. Our students were not there,” he added.
“Law enforcement says if you hadn't obeyed us, all those cases would have been filed against you. You would be the number one accused,” he said, adding: “However, neither the law enforcers nor our people understand me. Even the most enthusiastic do not understand.”
“They are asking why I did not disregard all those restrictions on the day of the strike. I will not work for the party anymore, I will stay in the mosque. Those of you who are very enthusiastic, do it, I’m old, sick. I can't walk, can't stand. So, I will no longer lead Hefazat, I will not lead the movement. I will work as a member as long as I can.”
Stating that party workers had sidelined him, Maulana Awal said: "I had arranged prayers here after Asr on Monday. They ignored it and instead went to Deobhog Madrasa to say their prayers.”
