Bangla Press Desk: The Opposition Alliance, led by Jamaat-e-Islami, has announced a major rally in the capital’s Paltan area on 5 August to press the government for implementing the July Charter and referendum verdict.
Plans for the rally will be finalised at a meeting on 3 August, Hamidur Rahman Azad, assistant secretary general of Jamaat, said at a press conference around 10pm on Thursday. The presser was held at the Opposition Leader’s official residence at Mintoo Road in the capital.
The 5th of August also marks the second anniversary of the successful end of the July Uprising 2024, and consequently the second year since the fall of the Awami League authoritarian regime.
