A large rally in Dhaka saw around 20,000 supporters of the Hefazat-e-Islam group protesting against the interim government's proposals that included equal inheritance rights for women and recognition of sex workers. The group argues that these proposals undermine traditional beliefs and threaten religious laws. Mamunul Haque, a prominent leader, voiced concerns that such changes do not reflect the sentiments of the majority. The Islamist party has been increasingly visible following political upheaval last year, and plans to escalate protests if their demands remain unaddressed.
Thousands of supporters from the Hefazat-e-Islam group rallied in Dhaka opposing government laws on women's rights, calling them an affront to religious sentiments, threatening further protests.
Hefazat-e-Islam's Mamunul Haque stated that the interim government's proposals regarding women's inheritance and labor recognition undermine 'the sentiments of the majority' in Bangladesh.
