Islami Andolan calls nationwide protest rallies on May 3

Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB) will stage protest rallies across Bangladesh on May 3 protesting the lynching of two brothers by a mob in Panchpalli village of Dumain union in Madhukhali, Faridpur.

Party’s senior nayeb-e-ameer Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim said this at a rally held in the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque area of the capital on Friday.

From the rally, they will give a warning signal to the government, said Faizul Karim.

“Even then, if the government does not pay attention, we will be forced to give more tough programs later,” he said.

The protest organized by Islami Andolan Bangladesh Dhaka Metropolitan North and South was presided over by the organization's Dhaka Metropolitan North President Principal Hafez Maulana Sheikh Fazle Bari Masood.

A protest procession defying the heatwave passed through Baitul Mukarram North Gate, Paltan intersection, Bijoynagar and came back to Paltan intersection and ended with a short speech.

Two construction workers, both siblings, were killed by a mob on suspicion that the duo set fire to a Hindu temple in Dumain Union under Faridpur's Madhukhali upazila on Thursday.

Five more workers sustained severe injuries in the mob attack. Two of them were hospitalized.
