Jamaat forms human chain from Jatrabari to Gabtoli to push for PR, referendum in Nov on July Charter before polls
The demonstration was organised by the Dhaka north and south city units of the party.
The Jamaat-e-Islami's leaders and activists formed a human chain today (14 October) stretching from Jatrabari to Gabtoli in the capital, driving home five demands, which include holding a referendum on the July National Charter in November before the general election and proportional representation.
Jamaat Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher, among others, addressed the demonstration organised by the Dhaka north and south city units of the party.
The party's five demands are holding the national election in February after giving the July National Charter a legal basis through a referendum in November; introducing proportional representation in both houses, including a proposed upper house, via a referendum; ensuring a level playing field for a free and fair election; delivering visible justice for oppression, atrocities, mass killings and corruption by the fallen "fascist government;" and banning the activities of the Jatiyo Party and others in the 14-party alliance, who are "allies of dictatorship."
