Besides, he also took the promise from the present audience to not educate girls beyond class four or five. Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) is expressing grave condemnation and protest over his remark and behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>According to mass media reports, on 11 January 2019 there were more than 15 thousand people present in Darul Ulum Moinul Islam in Hathajari in Chattogram where the annual Mehfil was organised after Jumma Prayer. It was during this time when he made such comments regarding women in front of the public. Previously, Hefazat-e-Islam\u2019s Amir Ahmad Shafi had also made various other offensive and conflicting remarks regarding women, which had brought about an intense reaction within the ordinary people. These comments of his, regarding women and girls, are inconsistent with Bangladesh\u2019s existing activities and various attempts at ensuring girls education, empowerment and women rights. Such comments send a wrong message to the societies at various levels which is absolutely unacceptable and an impending disaster in the rate of continuous development of women.<\/p>\n<p>ASK strongly believes Under that our existing policies, laws, human rights, and above all, the Constitution, Ahmad Shafi is supposed to seek public forgiveness and that the government must take measures against him. Besides, ASK urges the government to given him strict directions to refrain him from making such comments or suggestions in the future.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\" src=\"http:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=http:\/\/www.askbd.org\/ask\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Press-Statement-13.1.19-1.pdf&amp;embedded=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hefazat-e-Islam Chief Amir Allama Shah Ahmad Shafi has suggested not sending girls to school and colleges.
