Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mia Golam Porwar announced that the party will launch a nationwide public outreach campaign from October 1 to 9, followed by countrywide rallies on October 10 and the submission of memorandums to district commissioners on October 12.
Porwar accused the interim government of ignoring public demands and warned that Jamaat would be forced to take to the streets if the demands remain unmet. He reiterated the party’s call for elections in February based on the July Charter, cautioning that otherwise a street movement would ensue.
Porwar also revealed that a new party logo was shown “experimentally” during a recent meeting, but stressed it was not final. He said the party’s previously announced five-point demands had gained public support, and Jamaat would continue to mobilize citizens behind them.
