Jamaat-e-Islami staged protest rallies and gatherings in Godagari and Paba, Rajshahi, pressing for a five-point demand including holding the next national election under a Proportional Representation (PR) system. On Friday, a rally began from Mahishalbari Bazar and ended in front of the Upazila Parishad gate, followed by a public meeting. Addressing the gathering, Jamaat’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Professor Mujibur Rahman declared: “The people of Bangladesh no longer want to witness the fascist rule of authoritarian forces. Elections must be held under the PR system. This will ensure representation of all parties in parliament according to the votes they receive, while closing all doors to fascism.”
