Bangladesh Awami Olama League is a religious organization of Bangladesh that claims affiliation with the ruling Bangladesh Awami League.[1][2] Although the Bangladesh Awami League denies[3] any relationship, critics argue it uses platforms such as the Olama League for its own political benefits.[4][5]

History

The Awami Olama League was officially founded in 1996 on the directives of the Awami League president and later prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.[2] Awami League officially denies involvement with it, although members maintain close ties with Awami League decision makers.[2][4] Analysts argue that this gives the Awami League an "Islamic label" and serves as a "pocket organization" rather than a source of opposition.[5]

The organization is currently divided into several factions, one led by Ismail Hossain Bin Helali, another led by Abdul Hasan Sheikh Shariatpuri, who are also rival Sufi groups.[2] They accuse each other of being "agents" of Jamaat-e-Islami and being "illiterate".[2] The two factions have often clashed violently and repeatedly.[6]

Controversy

In 2016, the organization demanded a stop to government funding of Pahela Baishakh and a ban on airing of Indian channels in Bangladesh.[1]

In 2017, Olama League demanded a removal of the placement of a statue of a Greek goddess of justice from the premises of the Supreme Court.[7][8]
