Leader of the Opposition and Amir of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dr. Shafiqur Rahman declared that opposition parties will not retreat from the streets until the public's rightful demands are fully realized by the government.
Addressing the grand finale rally of the 11-Party Alliance’s Dhaka-Khulna-Kushtia Long March at the Shaheed Abrar Fahad Stadium in Kushtia late Saturday night, October 31, 2026, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman emphasized that the coalition’s 7-point mandate represents the collective voice of the masses rather than partisan interests. "Our demands are not party-specific; they belong to the general public. Accept these demands—we will return home only after securing the people's rights. It is for the nation and its people that we have taken to the streets," he stated.
