Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar announced that his party, along with seven other political groups, will vote 'Yes' in the upcoming referendum aimed at giving legal validity to the July Charter. Speaking at a joint press conference in Dhaka’s Moghbazar on Sunday, Porwar said the alliance will encourage the public to support the reforms. The eight-party coalition, which has been active amid the ongoing political unrest, also warned that their movement would continue if a level playing field is not ensured. Porwar emphasized that their movement seeks to make elections more transparent and accountable, not to disrupt them. Other alliance leaders urged the government to respect the people's aspirations and to clarify potential complications if the national election and referendum are held on the same day. The alliance’s liaison committee will soon decide on the next course of action.
