Intifada Bangladesh is an Islamist organization in Bangladesh, established in July 2025. It gained attention for it's opposition to foreign involvement in Bangladesh's internal affairs, particularly regarding the United Nations Human Rights Office.
Following the July Uprising, 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]
Leadership
The organization'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]
