DMP grants permission for Jamaat rally at Ramna Engineers Institution
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has given permission to Jamaat-e-Islami to hold its rally at the auditorium of Engineers Institutions in the Ramna area of the capital.
The party has been allowed to conduct the rally at 2pm on Saturday, Ashraful Alom Imon, the publishing secretary of Dhaka Metropolitan South Jammat, told The Business Standard tonight.
Jamaat-e-Islami announced the programme aimed at demanding the release of party leaders, including their Ameer Shafiqur Rahman, and addressing the escalating prices of daily commodities.
Initially, the party requested permission to hold the rally in front of Baitul Mukarram in the capital city.
Earlier on 29 May, a four-member Jamaat delegation was taken into custody by the police when they visited the DMP Headquarters to seek permission for the rally.
However, after their release, the DMP clarified that the delegation was not detained but instead brought in for questioning.
Jamaat sent its delegation again on Friday to seek permission for the rally.
