Idea of ​​4 provinces to fuel separatism: Khilafat Movement

Majlid-e-Amela meeting of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan held on Saturday. bka-2025-02-08-001

The leaders of the Bangladesh Khilafat Movement, opposing the Public Administration Reform Commission's proposal to divide the country into four provinces, have said that if the idea of ​​four provinces is implemented, it will encourage separatism. As a result, there is a good chance that the long-running conspiracy to separate the Chittagong Hill Tracts from Bangladesh and form an independent state will succeed. Our country is not big enough to be divided into provinces. Moreover, there is no such regional division among us ethnically. Although the Khilafat Movement agrees in principle with the current government's reform program, the leaders called on the government to drop this proposal to divide it into four provinces.

The leaders made this call at the monthly meeting of the Bangladesh Khilafat Movement's Central Majlis-e-Amela (Executive Committee) at Markazul Khilafat Jamia Nooria Islamia in Kamrangirchar, the capital, today, Saturday (February 08, 2025) at 11 am.

The leaders condemned the incitement of violence by the fugitive former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in an online speech at the meeting. They called on the government to immediately arrest those conspirators to destabilize the country and all those involved in the July massacre and quell the public anger.

The meeting also strongly condemned and protested the plan of US President Donald Trump and the bloodthirsty Prime Minister of the illegal state of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, to transfer Gazans from their own land to another country.
