An eleven-party alliance led by Jamaat-e-Islami has announced a protest rally in Dhaka on Monday afternoon to demand an end to post-election violence. The announcement came on Sunday after a meeting with the Election Commission, where former MP Hamidur Rahman Azad told reporters that attacks were being carried out on the homes of alliance leaders and activists following the election. The protest march will begin from Baitul Mukarram in the capital.
According to the report, leaders of the eleven-party alliance also met the Chief Election Commissioner in Agargaon at 11:40 a.m. to demand a recount of votes in 30 constituencies. They alleged irregularities, including vote rigging, manipulation, and tampering with result sheets during the 13th National Parliamentary Election.
The alliance’s planned demonstration aims to draw attention to alleged election irregularities and violence targeting its supporters, as well as to press for a transparent review of disputed results.
