Jamaat reschedules hartal to Tuesday
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has rescheduled its countrywide hartal program to Tuesday on grounds of Bishaw Ijtama. A top leader of Jamaat-e-Islami confirmed this to banglamail on Saturday.
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami called a countrywide hartal program for Monday in protest against the death penalty against party Ameer Matiur Rahman Nijami in the 10-truck arms smuggling case.
Acting Jamaat Secretary General Dr Shafiqur Rahman announced the program in a press release Friday evening.
