Dhaka, June 7: About a month and a half after the announcement of the dissolution of the Hefazat-e-Islam committee, the organisation is going to announce a new committee on June 7.
Controversial leaders may be dropped from the committee, led by Junaid Babunagari and Nurul Islam Jihadi. Leaders who are in the 'grace' of the government can come to the leadership.

However, Hefazat sources said the new committee will have 38 members. Junaid Babunagari is being kept as Amir and Nurul Islam Jihadi is being kept as secretary general in the committee.
Maulana Ataullah Hafejji, Maulana Salauddin Nanupuri, Principal Mizanur Rahman, Maulana Muhibbul Haque (Sylhet), Maulana Ubaydur Rahman Mahbub (Barisal) and Shah Ahmad Shafi's eldest son Md. Yusuf have been appointed as Naib Amir.
