“If ghee doesn’t come out of my fingers, I will bend them” — Abdullah Taher

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Naib-e-Amir Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher has said, ‘If ghee doesn’t come out of my fingers, I will bend them. We need ghee. We need to hold a referendum before the elections.’
He said this while joining a protest rally and a huge mass procession organized from Paltan intersection to Jamuna on Thursday (November 6), where an order was issued to implement the July National Charter and a memorandum of eight parties with 5-point demands, including a referendum in November, was submitted to the chief advisor.
Taher gave a stern warning to the government, adding, ‘No warning; hold a referendum straight, straight. Don’t cheat. If you cheat, our movement will also expand.’ He said, ‘If you are afraid of the people’s verdict, it will not work. A referendum is the demand of the nation today. We are peacefully expressing our demands, but if the government ignores it, this movement will spread to every district, upazila and union of the country.’
He raised five demands, including issuing a directive to implement the July national charter and holding a referendum in November. A large number of law enforcement officers have been deployed in the area for security.
