Jamaat-e-Islami will not be allowed to hold any rally in Dhaka as it is not a registered political party, says Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan. As of now, no political party has been given permission to hold a rally on Oct 28, the minister said, adding any party will be allowed to hold rallies if they follow the rules. Khan spoke to the media on Wednesday following an inter-ministerial meeting to ensure security on Victory Day. When asked if Jamaat would be allowed to hold a rally in Dhaka on Oct 28, the minister initially said that Bangladesh is a democratic country and anybody abiding by the rule of law would be able to speak out.
