Radical Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islam on Thursday said the government still had time to amend the constitution to enact an anti-blasphemy law to hand down death penalty for atheists.
Ameer of the organisation Shah Ahmed Shafi also demanded fulfilling their “pro-Islamic” 13-point demands, including the restoration of “Absolute Trust and Faith in Almighty Allah” in the constitution “to ease the grievances of touhidi janata [religious Muslims].”
He made the remarks after holding a meeting with a Hefazat delegation from Chhagalnaiya of Feni, according to a media statement signed by Shafi’s Press Secretary Maulana Munir Ahmed.
Shafi also claimed that they were not against women, but wanted “to preserve their dignity and rights.”
