Abdullah said, "People from different parties and ideologies have infiltrated Hefazat-e-Islam and are trying to bring Hefazat to the forefront to advance their own political interests."
"To that end, they have been able to take control of Hefazat-e-Islam. It is the people of these controversial outsider organisations who have ignored the opinions of the majority of Hefazat-e-Islam's leaders and forced them to go on strike," added Abdullah.
According to him, Hefazat has become a platform for some individuals to implement their own agenda and it is the key reason for his resignation.
