Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami | Bangladesh's Islamist Party Projects Force With A Mega Rally In Dhaka

Bangladesh News | In a powerful show of strength, Bangladesh's largest Islamist political group, Jamaat-e-Islami, mobilised hundreds of thousands of supporters in Dhaka on Saturday to assert its presence ahead of national elections expected next year. The rally comes at a time of political flux in the country following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The current interim government, led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus has said that elections are scheduled for April. However, the possibility of an earlier vote in February remains open, following pressure from the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its allies.
