Dr. Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, Nayeb-e-Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, has claimed that the party’s latest rally at Suhrawardy Udyan saw a larger turnout than the historic March 7 speech by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Speaking at a Dhaka South city unit workers’ conference, Taher said the crowd overflowed from the park into Ramna, the Dhaka University area, and all the way to Dhaka Medical College. He asserted that calling for electoral reform is not a conspiracy, but rather, “Hasina-style elections” are the real conspiracy. Taher warned that elections without justice and a level playing field would not be accepted. He also noted that student awareness and a rebellious spirit among the public remain alive.
