Jamaat-e-Islami’s legal counsel Shishir Monir urged party members not to lose hope over the registration issue, expressing optimism that the party would soon regain both registration and its election symbol. He also noted that the release of senior leader ATM Azharul Islam, who has been imprisoned for over a decade, may be decided this month. Court hearings are expected to resume after the Chief Justice returns at the end of the month.
