Allama Shah Muhibbullah Babunagari, the ameer of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, has said that followers of Maulana Saad will never again be able to use the Bishwa Ijtema ground in Tongi.

He spoke on Saturday afternoon at a press conference at the tin-shed Shabguzari point of the Ijtema ground in Tongi, held to ensure that the coming Bishwa Ijtema 2027 is run smoothly and peacefully.

Babunagari told the press conference that the government’s earlier decision not to let Saad’s followers use the Tongi ground after 2025 must stay in force.

He also demanded that investigations into two murder cases filed over incidents in Tongi in 2018 and 2024 be completed quickly and charge sheets submitted. The press conference was told that the cases are now being investigated by the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI).

Among those present were Maulana Nurul Islam Olipuri, Maulana Shah Sajidur Rahman, Maulana Abdul Hamid Pirsaheb Madhupur, Maulana Mahfuzul Haque and Mufti Khijirullah Hathazari, with other leading clerics and elders from districts across the country.
