Jamaat calls dawn-to-dusk hartal for Tuesday

 

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami declared a countrywide dawn-to-dusk hartal for Tuesday demanding cancellation of what they termed 'farcical trial in the name of war crimes trial' and release of detained party high-ups.
Shafiqur Rahman, acting secretary general of Jamaat, in a press release said the party called the hartal demanding withdrawal of 'false' cases against party high-ups and their release from detention.
Their demands also include restoration of the caretaker government system and control of the skyrocketing prices of essentials, the press release said.
