DHAKA: As the political crisis continues to mount in Bangladesh ahead of next year’s election, Jamaat-e-Islami on Thursday warned of tough action if the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government fails to address its five-point demand by November 11, local media reported.
Jamaat Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar made the remarks while addressing reporters in Dhaka after submitting a memorandum to Chief Advisor Yunus.
The eight Islamist political parties, including Jamaat, submitted the memorandum to Yunus calling for the implementation of the July National Charter and a referendum ahead of the February 2026 polls.
“The July National Charter must be implemented immediately, and a referendum must be held. Otherwise, a different situation will emerge in Dhaka on November 11 with the presence of hundreds of thousands of people. The government should take steps in this regard beforehand, ” Bangladeshi daily Dhaka Tribune quoted Porwar as saying.
