Jamaat-e-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has said, “The Chief Adviser has expressed his intention to hold national elections between December of this year and June of the next. We want to place our trust in his words.” He added that they are not trying to pressure the Chief Adviser, as he is supported by all political parties and must be assisted by all sides. “We urge him to convene an all-party dialogue to avoid further national uncertainty,” he said.
