The Hefazat-e-Islami Bangladesh (HIB), a quomi madrasa-based body, has threatened to organise a "long march" towards Myanmar if massacre of Rohingya Muslims are not stopped immediately. Leaders of the city unit of the Hefazat gave the warning while speaking at a protest meeting in front of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque after the Juma prayers.
They accused the Myanmar army and Rakhine miscreants of carrying out barbaric attacks and repression on the Muslim people, ignoring human rights.
They questioned the role of the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, as well as of those talking about human rights, and wanted to know where are they when innocent people, including woman and children, are being killed and homes set on fire.   Maulana Noor Hossain Kasemi, who presided over the rally, said no Muslim can remain silent when the Myanmar army is carrying out massacre of Muslims.
He called upon the Muslim Ummah to stand by Rohingya Muslims and urged the Bangladesh government to give shelter to them. Mufti Wakkas blamed the United Nations for failing to protect Muslims and demanded formation of a separate UN to protect Muslims, if necessary. The joint secretary general of the HIB said they would be forced to bring out the long march if the massacre is not stopped. He also demanded that the Nobel Peace prize be taken away from Aung San Suu Kyi for her silence towards the cruel and barbaric attack on Muslims.
