Islamic scholars have put forward a nine-point demand, including justice for the 2013 Shapla Chattar killings and the withdrawal of all false cases filed against Alem-Ulema.

At an Islamic conference organised by Ulema and Mashaikh at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital on Tuesday, the Muslim scholars presented their demand including, justice for the recent attack on innocent students by Saad Kandhlawi's supporters at the Tongi Ijtema venue, the prevention of self-declared Ameer Saad's entry into Bangladesh, restricting the entry of Saad's supporters to the Kakrail Mosque and officially declaring the Qadianis as non-Muslims in Bangladesh.

Followers of Zubair-ul-Ḥassan Kandhlawi at the conference said they will not allow Maulana Saad Kandhlawi and his followers to enter the Ijtema ground at Tongi during the upcoming Ijtema. They will not even allow Saad Kandhlawi at the Kakrail Mosque in Dhaka.

Prominent Islamic scholars and leaders also emphasised the protection of Qawmi Madrasah, Tablighi Jamaat and Islam in Bangladesh at the conference.

In the conference, the top Alems said that Ijtema will be held once and not twice in the country.

Thousands of people from across the country gathered at the venue where the Islamic scholars announced the demands, urging the interim government to meet those.

Shah Mohammad Mohibullah Babunagari conducted prayers after the event.

From early morning, thousands of people, including scholars, began gathering at the Suhrawardy Udyan for the conference, which officially started at 9am and continued until 1:17pm, filling the venue to the full capacity.
