The eleven-party alliance, including Jamaat-e-Islami, has warned that it will launch street protests if the government fails to implement the July Charter by tomorrow. The announcement came after an emergency meeting of the alliance’s liaison committee held at Jamaat’s central office in Moghbazar on Saturday. Assistant Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami, Hamidur Rahman Azad, conveyed the warning during a press briefing following the meeting. He stated that the alliance will hold another meeting with top leaders on March 28 to outline and announce the next phase of their movement.

Azad criticized the government for not convening the Reform Commission session within the stipulated 30 days, which ends tomorrow. He said the government and the leader of the parliament must take responsibility if the session is not called. The alliance also protested the appointment of administrators in six cities and alleged widespread politicization in the administration. Azad reiterated that the alliance demands full, not partial, implementation of the July Charter.

He added that the alliance’s leader and opposition leader, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, expressed willingness to cooperate with the government but warned that failure to act properly would force them to take to the streets.
