The move to call late Hafezzi Huzur a war criminal was strongly criticsed at a meeting of leaders of political parties and religious group in the city yesterday. The speakers said that those who termed the late leader of Kelafat Andolan a war criminal without any proof were themselves responsible for such crimes.

The meeting organised by the Hafezzi Huzur Parishad was presided over by his eldest son and Chief of Khelafat Andolan Moulana Shah Ahmadullah Ashraf and addressed by Shaikhul Hadis Allama Azizul Huq. Chief of Krishak Sramik Janater League and former MP Kader Siddiqui, Acting Khatib of Baitul Mukaram National Mosque Moulana Nuruddin.

AMM Bahauddin, Editor, Daily Inqilab, Moulana Nurul Huda, Fayezi, chief of Islami Shashantantra Andolan, Shuddhananda Mahathero, President, Bangladesh Bouddha Krishti Prachar Sangha, Moulana Abdul Raqib, President, Nezami Islam Party, and Zafarullah Khan, secretary general of Khelafat Andolan, Moulana Abdul Latif Nezami and Moulana Abdur Rab Yousuf also spoke on the occasion.

Kader Siddiqui said that it was not proper to blame anybody as war criminal just by the use of force. Those who put the blame on the great religious preacher were themselves criminals, he said.

Moulana Nuruddin said, unrest was being created among Muslims by calling Hafezzi Huzur a war criminal. It amounted to defaming the ulema. There were evil designs to destabilise the country, he said.

Other speakers eulogised the role played by Hafizzi Huzur to unite people belonging to all shades of opinion in the greater national interest.
