Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar stated that there is no alternative to implementing the referendum verdict. He made the remarks on Thursday afternoon at a press conference following a meeting of top leaders of the 11-party alliance at Al-Falah Auditorium in Dhaka’s Moghbazar. During the event, he announced new programs demanding the implementation of the referendum verdict.
Parwar said that through the referendum, 50 million people had sought reforms to the existing state system for development and progress, aiming to free the country from corruption, terrorism, and one-person rule. He accused the current government of reversing its stance and suppressing opposition voices in parliament. He also criticized the energy minister for denying the ongoing fuel crisis and expressed concern over the measles outbreak and the deteriorating law and order situation. Parwar alleged that the banking sector had been destroyed and that government offices were being politicized.
The 11-party alliance announced a series of protest programs, including rallies in Dhaka on April 18, in other major cities on April 25, and in all district towns on May 2. Leaflet distribution and seminars will be held nationwide from April 18 to May 2, followed by divisional rallies if demands remain unmet.
