Islami Andolan Bangladesh held a grand rally in Dhaka on Saturday, demanding electoral reforms, justice, and the introduction of proportional representation (PR) in both houses of Parliament.
Party spokesperson Maulana Gazi Ataur Rahman presented a 16-point demand charter at the event, describing the rally as an extension of the July Uprising and a historic milestone in shaping the future of Bangladesh.
From early morning, thousands of activists poured into the historic Suhrawardy Udyan from various districts, chanting “Naraye Takbir” and carrying the party’s symbol—the hand fan. The venue quickly filled with slogans, processions, and a charged atmosphere of religious fervor, turning the Udyan into a sea of people.
Leaders from various political parties also joined the rally. Jamaat-e-Islami was represented by Nayeb-e-Ameer Prof Mujibur Rahman, Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar, and Assistant Secretaries General Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan and Maulana Abdul Halim. A three-member delegation from the National Citizen Party (NCP), led by Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain, was also present.
