A coalition of seven political parties, including Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, has announced a new program demanding the implementation of the July National Charter and a referendum in November, along with four other demands. According to the program, a memorandum will be submitted to the Election Commission on 30 October, and the top leaders will hold a press conference on 3 November to unveil a broader action plan.
