An eight-party Islamist alliance led by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is preparing for a major divisional rally in Sylhet on December 6, aiming to demonstrate mass support ahead of the upcoming national elections. The coalition, which includes Jamaat, Islami Andolon Bangladesh, and several Khelafat-based parties, has outlined five key demands, including a referendum on the July National Charter Implementation Order and ensuring a level playing field in the elections. The rally will be held at the historic Government Alia Madrasa field from noon to 4 p.m., with organizers expecting hundreds of thousands of participants from across Sylhet and nearby districts. Senior leaders from all eight parties are scheduled to attend. The alliance’s liaison committee has coordinated with Sylhet Metropolitan Police and the City Corporation for security, traffic, and logistical support. Organizers claim all preparations are complete and expect the event to become one of Sylhet’s largest political gatherings in recent years.
