Sylhet Metropolitan Jamaat's Secretary General Shajahan Ali said, "We believe in a peaceful programme. Awami League holds meetings every day and they do not need permission. However, the police did not give permission for our peaceful assembly programme, this is totally unconstitutional, illegal and autocratic approach."
Calling on the government to resign, the Jamaat-e-Islami leader said, "Dissolve the parliament, resign immediately."
