Prepare for another 'inevitable revolution' if needed: Jamaat ameer
If a solution is not reached in parliament on the issue, they will go to people across the country and present their position, he says.
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and leader of the opposition in parliament, Shafiqur Rahman, today (20 June) said the verdict of the people's referendum and the July Charter must be implemented.
If a solution is not reached in parliament on the issue, they will go to people across the country and present their position, he said while addressing a divisional rally organised by 11-party alliance at Khulna Circuit House ground this afternoon.
"Where we do not need the speaker's permission to speak, we will speak with the people. A mass awakening will take place across the country," he said.

Calling upon the youth, Shafiqur Rahman said, "You removed fascism through the July Revolution. Now, if necessary, be prepared for another inevitable revolution to remove neo-fascism."
Student's movement was not aimed at putting any individual, family or group in power, but at building an independent, sovereign, accountable and humane Bangladesh, he added.
"We do not want any chaos in the country. But we will not bow down to injustice, corruption, extortion, occupation or domination," Amir said.
Shafiqur Rahman said people in the country had supported change with the expectation of building a non-discriminatory, corruption-free and democratic state system, but their expectations have not yet been fulfilled.
He also alleged past commitments made to the public were not honoured and that state institutions had been politicised and weakened, resulting in a loss of public rights.
Referring to border issues, he further said that the people of Bangladesh, along with law enforcement agencies, would work together to protect the country's sovereignty and security.
He also asserted that Bangladesh would not bow to any foreign domination or aggression.
The rally was organised demanding implementation of the referendum verdict, removal of public sufferings and control of commodity prices.
Jamaat Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar chaired the event, while former Colonel Oli Ahmed and Maulana Mamunul Haque addressed it as special guests.
