The group has deemed the proposal of being contrary to Sharia law and have even demanded to punish those who have drafted the directives. Over 20000 members of the group took to the streets holding placards that read “Say no to western laws on our women, rise up Bangladesh.” The group has threatened to hold rallies all across the nation on May 23 if their demands are not met. They have also released a 12-point declaration demanding to reconstitute the women라이브 바카라 commission with Islamic scholars and members from “devout segments of the female population.”
According to sources, a woman had allegedly said during the protest that the Quran has outlined specific codes for both genders and that “there is no way we can go beyond that.”
The group comprises teachers and students of non-government Madrassas in Bangladesh. The leader of the group, Mamunul Haque has stated that these reforms “hurt the sentiments of the majority of the people of this country”.
The group had also sought the cancellation of bail granted to Iskcon leader Chinmoy Das earlier.
