Bangladesh's religious adviser told people to chill with the vigilante stuff and let the courts handle punishment instead of grabbing pitchforks. AFM Khalid Hossain said at a Quran conference that anyone ignoring this advice is gonna face consequences, and he warned against messing with the election vibe.
This whole thing kicked off after some ultra-religious Tawhidi Janata folks kept jumping baul musicians who were mad about one of their guys getting locked up. The bauls were protesting because Abul Sarkar got arrested for supposedly disrespecting Islam with his Quran takes, which creative types and activists think is bogus.
The adviser made it clear that only approved Islamic scholars get to explain what the Quran means, not random performers.
