Jamaat, 7 other allied parties announce rallies in 7 divisional cities from 30 Nov
The schedule was finalised at the eight-party liaison committee meeting
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and seven of its allies have announced fresh programmes centred on their five-point demand, which include holding a referendum on the July National Charter (Reform of Constitution) Implementation Order 2025 before the election.
"Rallies will be held consecutively across seven divisional cities from 30 November to 6 December," Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Senior Nayeb-e-Ameer Maulana Yusuf Ashraf said at a press briefing at the party's central office in the capital's Purana Paltan.
Earlier, the schedule was finalised at the eight-party liaison committee meeting.

Ashraf said both the electoral process and the movement will continue in parallel. "We still demand that the national election and the referendum not be held on the same day. An alternative arrangement should be considered," he added.
Other demands are issuing an order to implement the July Charter; adopting proportional representation in the next parliamentary system; ensuring equitable and credible elections; and taking visible action on accountability related to past political repression, killings and corruption.
Responding to a question, Jamaat Assistant Secretary General AHM Hamidur Rahman Azad said more parties could join the alliance, though any final decision would be taken by top leaders.
He also noted that seat-sharing discussions have not yet been formally finalised.
Apart from Jamaat, seven other alliance parties are Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, Nizam-e-Islam Party, Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan, Bangladesh Development Party and National Democratic Party (NDP).
