Maulana Abdullah Mohammad Hasan, a Nayeb-e-Ameer (Deputy Chief) of Hefajat-e-Islam (HeI), on April 13 resigned from the Qawmi madrasa-based organisation, alleging that the Islamist group has turned into a platform that materialises personal agendas of some controversial HeI leaders, reports The Daily Star. He came up with the announcement at a press conference at the Jatiya Press Club. He said "As far as I understand, the death of Hefajat Ameer Shah Ahmad Shafi has created a crisis of competent leadership in the organisation. People with different opinions and ideologies have intruded into Hefajat and they are tactfully trying to make Hefajat hit the streets to materialise their personal gains. They, to a large extent, have become successful in bringing Hefajat under their control, defying opinions of most of the Hefajat leaders. Those controversial outsiders forced the organisation into enforcing hartal-like programmes that caused public sufferings."
