Hefazat-e Islam expressed strong determination on holding their December 24 rally at Shapla Chhattar, Motijheel in a press conference in Dhaka on Saturday.
A call was also made to government for all cordial supports in order to make the Hefazat rally "a success."
Hefazat's Dhaka metropolitan convenor and central Nayeb-e-Amir Nur Hossain Quashemi was speaking during the press briefing held at a Baridhara madrassa.
The December 24 rally will demand implementation of 13-point demand, which included curbing women's rights, and release of all arrested Hefazat leaders, he said.
Also, the rally will demand for an independent judicial probe panel over what the Hefazat leader said May 5 genocide.
This will be the second time Chittagong-based Hefazat, claiming themselves to be a pro-Islamic and non-political organisation, will be holding a rally in Motijheel.
This time, however, the date for the rally has been called just weeks ahead of the January 5 national elections amidst an agitation programme of the BNP-led 18-party alliance.
On May 5, law enforcers evicted Hefazat supporters from a rally in Motijheel in a late night drive. The day was marked with violence and tension throughout Paltan and adjacent areas.
