He also demanded actions to prevent all forms of instability, obscenity, and shamelessness.
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh also demanded the regulation of prices of commodities. Jamaat’s Dhaka North Secretary Rezaul Karim alleged that the government has deliberately caused the price of commodities to rise in this auspicious month. He also demanded the resignation of ministers who advised replacing costlier items with cheaper alternatives, like using the local plum boroi instead of dates for iftar.
