Hathazari Madrassa Clashes: Hefazat-e-Islam Turmoil Amid Reforms #bangladesh

This post highlights the ongoing violent clashes at Hathazari Madrassa in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where thousands of teachers and students affiliated with Hefazat-e-Islam are attacking other Sunni Muslims, resulting in hundreds of injuries. The madrassa, a stronghold of the pro-Caliphate Hefazat-e-Islam, is known for its anti-Hindu, anti-non-Muslim, and anti-India sentiments. The violence occurs against the backdrop of recent political turbulence and the interim government's efforts to implement reforms, which may be exacerbating internal divisions within the group. This situation underscores the fragility of extremist organizations when faced with internal dissent and external pressures for change.
