Jamaat-e-Islami has postponed its Monday's hartal to Thursday because of Akheri Munajat of Bishwa Ijtema and Saraswati Puja.
Jamaat’s acting secretary general Shafiqur Rahman made the announcement in a statement issued on Saturday afternoon.
On Friday, the party has called the hartal for Monday protesting the death penalty of its chief Motiur Rahman Nizami in one of the 10-truck arms haul cases.
A Chittagong court on Thursday handed down death sentences to 14 people including Jamaat ameer and former industries minister Motiur Rahman Nizami for masterminding the country’s largest ever smuggling of weaponries in 2004. He was given life-term in the arms case.
