| [Bangla Daily Star] Islami Andolan Bangladesh ...a minor Islamist party which in the days of Bangla Bhai served as a recruiting agency for the JMB... (IAB) on Wednesday called a daylong countrywide hartal ... a peculiarly Bangla combination of a general strike and a riot, used by both major political groups in lieu of actual governance ... for July 10 to protest against the move to drop 'Absolute Trust and Faith' in Allah from the constitution. IAB Chief Syed Rezaul Karim announced the programme at a presser held at its central office at Paltan in the capital. Rezaul also declared a three-day programme protesting the issue. He said the party will hold a grand rally at Laldhighi Maidan in Chittagong on July 4, and protest rallies at all upazila headquarters on July 5 and at district headquarters on July 7. |
