Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its 10-party electoral alliance have called for a protest march and rally in Dhaka on Monday, alleging widespread violence, repression, killings, and sexual assaults across the country following the 13th National Parliamentary Election. The event is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the north gate of the National Mosque, Baitul Mukarram. According to a press release issued on Sunday, Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman and other top leaders of the alliance will address the gathering.

The 13th National Parliamentary Election was held on February 12, with results announced for 297 of 299 constituencies. The 11-party alliance secured 77 seats in total, including a record 68 seats for Jamaat-e-Islami, six for the National Citizens Party, two for Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, and one for Khelafat Majlish. The alliance claims that incidents of violence and abuse have occurred nationwide since the election.

The rally aims to protest these alleged post-election incidents and demonstrate the alliance’s political stance following its significant electoral gains.
