He is a very popular figure in the neighbouring country of [[Bangladesh]] which he frequently used to visit. He first visited eastern Bengal in 1933, and since 1973 he used to go there nearly every year. During the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] of 1971, Madni strongly protested against the brutal torture of the [[Pakistan Army]] and its allied forces, and distributed adequate aid to the memorial camps. He projected his views to stop the torture of innocent Bengalis and marched in the streets of [[Delhi]] with more than fifty thousand Indian Muslims in favour of Bangladesh. His last visit to the country was on 2 April 2005 when he was an honorary guest at the National Conference of [[Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh]] at [[Paltan]] Maidan, [[Dhaka]].<ref name=bd/><br />
