Controversy

It is stated that Hosseini played an important role in the 1946 Noakhali riots.^[5][6][7] Ghulam Sarwar Hussaini and his followers started preparing the stage for the massacre by spreading provocative speeches in various rallies. Noakhali was a remote area as it was inhabited by many canals and rivers. He called on the persecuted Biharis in Noakhali. To this end he created a force to provide the Biharis with security and accommodation. It was known as the Miyar Fauj (Miah's Army মিয়ার ফৌজ). On the morning of October 10, he sent a letter to Rajendralal Chowdhury through the Chowkidar and offered to discuss the matter. But when Rajendralal did not respond, Muhammad Ghulam Sarwar Hussaini called a rally of his loyal devotees and Muslims at Shahpur Bazar in the morning. There he highlighted the position of the Muslims at that time and called for the overthrow of the Hindu zamindars. Chittaranjan Roy Chowdhury, the zamindar of Raipur, could not accept the growing political power of the Muslims in Noakhali from the very beginning. With this Muhammad Golam Sarwar Hussaini started a conflict with him. However, Sarwar was sheltering the Biharis as well as making political efforts to stop the riots in Bihar and Calcutta. But the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League did not respond to his efforts. He wrote letters to everyone and wanted a solution to indiscriminate killings. No one played a strong role in the solution and he was very disappointed.^[8]
