Jamaat calls hartal on Monday.

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami called dawn-to-dusk general strike across the country on Monday protesting at what it called the government’s ‘planned killing of the party’s senior assistant secretary general Muhammad Kamaruzzaman’, Saturday night. Just after the execution of Kamaruzzaman, the hartal was declared by its acting amir Makbul Ahmad through a press statement signed by one M Alam of its central publicity department. Ambulance, vehicles carrying bodies, and vehicles of hospitals and fire service will remain out of the purview of the shutdown, it added. The statement also said that countrywide prayer sessions will be held on Sunday for ‘Kamaruzzaman’s martyrdom.
