Beware of Hefajat

Arif Ahmed, On e-mail
Hefajat-e Islam Ameer Allama Shafi's sermon is unacceptable to us. This kind of mentality can only push us back to the dark ages. About 50% of our population is women and their contribution is just like their male counterparts. So the idea that women should remain illiterate and be confined to their houses is pure lunacy. BNP is maintaining some sort of relation with Hefajat for getting their support in the upcoming election. But Hefajat issue may backfire like the Bangla Bhai issue. I would like to request BNP not to use these forces to win the election.
