The Jamaat-e-Islami has
called another daylong nationwide shutdown on Tuesday to protest against
the issuing of a death warrant against its leader Abdul Quader Molla.
The call came minutes after the end of its Monday shutdown, pressed for the same reason.
Jamaat's acting Secretary General Shafiqur Rahman issued a media statement in the evening, announcing the consecutive shutdown.
A
war crimes tribunal issued Molla's death warrant on Sunday, soon after
getting a copy of the full version of the Supreme Court verdict
sentencing Molla to death for war crimes during the 1971 Liberation War.
The Jamaat-e-Islami, as a party, is itself under the scanner for its role during the War of Independence.
The
Supreme Court had cancelled Jamaat's registration earlier this year,
barring it from contesting the forthcoming general election.
Meanwhile,
the shutdown has been called amid the Opposition's ongoing six-day
transport blockade to press for a non-party government to supervise the
national polls.
