Issuing a warning to the government, Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman yesterday said any attempt to “kill” the people’s mandate again or curtail their rights would trigger a movement.

“We struggled before and achieved results. That struggle will begin again if needed,” the opposition leader told a rally organised by Dhaka district Jamaat in Keraniganj.

He also called for a united effort to build the country amid a volatile global climate. “If the government moves forward with that goodwill, we welcome it.”

Referring to the 11-party programme today “in protest against the disregard of the referendum verdict and the chaos in the fuel market”, the Jamaat chief said their programme would be within the bounds of rules.
