Leaders, activists and followers of Islami agitation Bangladesh are gathering at Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhaka in large numbers on Friday for a rally called by the party.

Several thousand activists of the party already occupied a part of the venue long before the formal start of the rally due in the afternoon, reports UNB. They were singing Islamic songs and gazals to cheer up the gathering. Organisers hope that the crowd will swell after the Juma prayer.
