Jamaat calls 24-hr hartal for Thursday
Aggrieved by today's war crimes verdict on Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mir Quasem Ali, the party has called a countrywide 24-hour hartal (shutdown) for Thursday.
The party will enforce a 6:00am Thursday, a staff of Jamaat publicity wing told The Daily Star.
Jamaat has been observing a 72-hour nationwide general strike enforced protesting the death penalty awarded to party chief Motiur Rahman Nizami.
After International Crimes Tribunal-2 delivered the verdict on Wednesday, Jamaat called the hartal for Thursday, Sunday and Monday.
