"Those arrested in the murder of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif should not only be brought to justice but those behind the incident should also be exposed," he said, demanding that former prime minister Sheikh Hasina be made an accused as an accomplice in the murder.
His party also said no "servant" of India will be allowed to come to power in Bangladesh in future.
The protest rally was organised in front of the Baitul Mukarram Mosque in Dhaka by the party's Dhaka Metropolitan unit.
The Hefazat leader also alleged that former Iskcon leader Chinmoy Krishna Das was acting as a foreign spy.
