Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis organized a protest rally and procession in Dhaka on Friday as part of its nationwide program demanding full implementation of the recent referendum verdict. The demonstration took place after Friday prayers at the north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.
During the pre-procession rally, party Secretary General Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmad stated that around 70 percent of voters supported the 'yes' option in the February 12 referendum held alongside the national election. He accused the government of delaying the implementation of the people's decision and urged the BNP-led government to act immediately in line with public expectations.
Ahmad warned that if the demand is ignored, the party, along with an eleven-party alliance, would intensify its movement. Leaders from the party’s central and Dhaka metropolitan units also addressed the gathering. Similar protests were held across the country on the same day.
