Tens of thousands of supporters gathered at the historic Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka for Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s national rally. The grounds were already filled to capacity six hours before the program officially began.
Party leader Dr. Shafiqur Rahman arrived at 12:30 PM, receiving an enthusiastic welcome from party members. The rally formally commenced at 2:00 PM under his leadership.
Earlier in the day, at 9:30 AM, Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar reached the venue. The rally was organized to press for a seven-point charter of demands, including proportional representation in elections, voting rights for expatriates, and the implementation of the "July Declaration."
This marks the first time Jamaat-e-Islami has held a solo national gathering at this landmark location.
