Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami organized a national rally of July martyrs’ families and July fighters at Dhaka’s Suhrawardy Udyan on Saturday, demanding full implementation of the referendum verdict. The event began at 10 a.m. with a recitation from the Holy Quran by Qari Enayet Ullah Saifi, followed by its translation by Sharif Bayjeed Mahmud and Islamic songs performed by artist Mashiur Rahman. July fighter Kamrul Hasan inaugurated the rally, calling for the July Charter to be implemented without any alteration and warning that Parliament would be besieged again if the demand was ignored.

The rally was attended by opposition leader and Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman MP, senior leaders of the 11-party alliance, Jamaat’s Nayeb-e-Ameer, Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar, assistant secretaries general, central executive and working committee members, Dhaka city leaders, women’s wing officials, MPs from Jamaat and the 11-party alliance, as well as families of July martyrs and injured July fighters from across the country.

Participants emphasized respect for the people’s mandate and warned that political struggle would continue inside and outside Parliament if the referendum result was not honored.
