The 11-party opposition alliance, led by Jamaat-e-Islami, has announced a Dhaka-Rangpur long march on next Saturday, the second such demonstration within two weeks, to press home its demands including implementation of the July Charter in its complete form and the people’s referendum in this regard.
Hamidur Rahman Azad, coordinator of the alliance and Jamaat assistant secretary general, announced the new long march at a press conference held at the Opposition Leader’s official residence in the capital on Sunday.
While revealing the demonstration plans, Hamidur Rahman Azad claimed the BNP government has started to “feel the pressure” from the long march programmes.
