Jamaat gets no permission for Friday’s rally

The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Thursday rejected the application of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami to hold a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Friday, said DMP Commissioner Khandaker Golam Faruq.

On August 1, the party sent a letter to the DMP Commissioner seeking permission to hold the rally. A group of the party leaders led by Abdur Razzak submitted the letter.

“We failed to hold our scheduled rally on August 1 as we did not get any permission from the authorities. So, we have decided to hold a rally on Friday at 2:30 pm at Suhrawardy Udyan. We hope we’ll get…assistance from the police ,” said Razzak while talking to reporters after submitting the letter.
