Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s women’s wing is set to hold a ‘protest rally’ at Dhaka’s Suhrawardy Udyan on January 31. JAKSU Assistant General Secretary (Shibir-supported panel) Ayesha Siddika Meghla described the upcoming event as a groundbreaking movement for the party. She expressed her anticipation to hear from the women’s division, making the remarks in a verified Facebook post on January 27.

In her post, Meghla recalled that during Jamaat’s previous grand rally, she had suggested that women should also organize a similar gathering. At that time, many women told her such an event would not be possible due to logistical and social challenges. She noted that Jamaat’s women’s division had previously held an international program, which inspired her belief that a large-scale women’s rally in Bangladesh could also be achieved.

Meghla further commented that the women’s rally represents a historic step for Jamaat-e-Islami, comparing it to the party’s earlier pre-election policy summit that had drawn attention. She said she expects the upcoming event to be similarly significant.
