Jamaat-e-Islami has cancelled its previously announced protest program in Dhaka. The party’s Dhaka South unit had declared a demonstration and rally to be held at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the north gate of the National Mosque Baitul Mukarram, citing the country’s prevailing situation and unrest. However, the decision to cancel the event came less than an hour after the announcement.

According to Abdus Sattar Suman, assistant publicity secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka South, the protest was withdrawn as the uncertainty surrounding the oath-taking of the party’s members of parliament was resolved. The MPs have since taken their oaths, ending the earlier uncertainty.

The cancellation indicates a shift in the party’s immediate political stance following the completion of the oath-taking process, though no further details were provided on future plans.
