Jamaat-led alliance announces 36-day program for uprising anniversary

A coalition of 11 parties, spearheaded by Jamaat, has announced a comprehensive 36-day program to mark the second anniversary of a significant uprising. The series of events is set to commence on July 1, aiming to commemorate the anniversary and advocate for specific demands.

The program, detailed at a press conference by Hamidur Rahman Azad, assistant secretary general of Jamaat-e-Islami and coordinator of the alliance’s liaison committee, includes a variety of activities. Seminars demanding the implementation of a referendum verdict will be held in all districts and metropolitan cities from July 1 to July 15. A key event on July 6 will see family members of those who lost their lives during the uprising forming a human chain in front of the Jatiya Sangsad, followed by the submission of a memorandum to the Speaker.

Further events include a national seminar in the capital on July 8, a discussion focused on women's issues on July 20, and an art exhibition scheduled from July 23 to 25. The alliance also plans to organize special prayers at mosques and other places of worship across the country on July 31. The commemorative activities will culminate with nationwide rallies on August 5, spanning from the capital to local upazila levels.
