An eleven-party alliance led by Jamaat-e-Islami held a protest rally and procession in Feni on Sunday, demanding the immediate implementation of the referendum verdict. The demonstration, part of a central program, began in front of Jahiriya Mosque and concluded with a brief assembly at the Shaheed Minar square. Leaders warned that if their demands were not met, the alliance would announce tougher programs.

The rally was presided over by Mufti Abdul Hannan, Ameer of Feni district Jamaat, and conducted by Assistant Secretary Advocate Jamal Uddin. Several alliance leaders, including Professor Abu Yusuf, ANM Abdur Rahim, Engineer Nazrul Islam, Maulana Amir Hossain, Maulana Muzafor Ahmad Jafri, Fazlul Haque, Soikat Islam Zahid, and Shah Wali Ullah Manik, addressed the gathering. Speakers accused the government of delaying the implementation of the “July Charter” despite many becoming ministers and MPs after the July uprising.

They further warned that any betrayal of the sacrifices made during the July movement would not be tolerated and that the alliance would respond strongly if the referendum verdict was not enforced.
