Section 144 imposed before Taheri's mahfil in Habiganj

HABIGANJ, Mar 28 (UNB): The local administration has imposed Section 144 in Shimulghar area of Madhabpur upazila in Habiganj ahead of a planned waz mahfil by Mufti Giyas Uddin Taheri. The event was scheduled to take place Saturday afternoon in a field near the village hospital.
The order was issued Friday by Madhabpur Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Zahid Bin Kasem.
According to residents, the Mahfil was organised by a committee led by Mufti Muzammel Haque, with Mufti Giyas Uddin Taheri as the chief speaker. Advocate Aminul Islam, chief prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, was invited as the chief guest, and local UP Chairman Minhaz Uddin Chowdhury was supposed to preside over the programme.
Mufti Muzammel Haque Masumi, speaking on behalf of the organising committee, alleged that a group is attempting to disrupt the mahfil by misleading the administration. "We request intervention from the Deputy Commissioner to ensure the program is held," he said.
