Home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal met with Hefazat-e-Islam chief Allama Shah Ahmed Shafi at Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam, also known as Hathazari Madrassah on Friday.

The minister paid the courtesy call on Shafi at his office at the madrassah at about 3:30pm.

‘Visiting Allama Shafi was a co-incidence and I sought his blessings. He prayed for the country, people and prime minister Sheikh Hasina,’ he added.

Local lawmaker Abu Reza Muhammad Nezamuddin, deuty inspector general of police Khondakar Golam Faruk and Chattogram deputy commissioner Md Ilias Hossain, were present at the meeting.
