Govt issues directives on Tabligh-Markaz coexistence

January 04, 2025 00:00:00


The government has urged the followers of Maulana Muhammad Zubair and Maulana Saad to maintain peaceful coexistence in their respective Tablighi Markaz at district and upazila levels, reports UNB.

The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification to this effect on Thursday.

The notification also requested both sides to refrain from creating any obstacles or disturbances in each other's Markaz.

It also said the previous directives issued concerning Dhaka's Kakrail Mosque must be followed.

The decision follows a violent clash between the two factions over control of the Tongi Bishwa Ijtema grounds in Gazipur on December 17, which tragically resulted in at least four fatalities.

Later, the government held discussions with both groups and decided to vacate the Ijtema grounds. Until further notice, police imposed restrictions on meetings, rallies and protests in and around the Ijtema venue.

But, on Thursday (Jan 2), these restrictions were lifted.
