"এই দ্বীন আমার, এই জমিন আমার!" (This religion is mine, this territory is mine!)
Party flag
Intifada Bangladesh is a political and social movement in Bangladesh, established in July 2025. It is characterized by its advocacy for Pan-Islamism principles combined with elements of Bengali Islamic nationalism. The movement has gained attention for its opposition to foreign involvement in Bangladesh’s internal affairs, particularly regarding the United Nations Human Rights Office.
Following the July–August 2024 political unrest, which led to the resignation and exile of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the collapse of the Awami League government, the country underwent a transitional period under an interim government led by economist Muhammad Yunus. During this time, various political and religious groups, including Islamist organizations, reemerged in public discourse.[1]
Ideology and leadership
Intifada Bangladesh promotes a Pan-Islamist worldview that emphasizes Islamic unity and governance based on Shariah law. Additionally, it incorporates Bengali nationalism themes inspired by historical figures such as Titumir and Haji Shariatullah.
The movement's leadership includes clerics such as Jasimuddin Rahmani, known for their public preaching, alongside figures like Asif Adnan, a preacher and social media influencer associated with the movement. These leaders have expressed critical views of secularism and democratic governance, advocating for a political system aligned with Islamic principles.[2][3]
History
On 26 July 2025, Intifada Bangladesh organized a protest at Shapla Chattar, Dhaka, following Friday prayers. Protesters called for the removal of the United Nations Human Rights Office from Bangladesh, accusing it of political interference and bias towards figures from the previous regime. The demonstration highlighted the movement’s stance against perceived foreign influence in national affairs.[4]
2 activists, Asif Mahtab and Dr. Sarwar Hussein, affiliated with Intifada faced death threats from a far-leftGay militant Facebook id which contained a post with caption of "Me and my homies playing football with Asif Mahtab's head".[5]
