Islami Ain Bastobayon Committee yesterday called a 48-hour countrywide hartal starting tomorrow to protest the removal of phrases "Absolute Faith and Trust in Allah" from the constitution.
Fazlul Haq Amini, ameer of the committee, announced the programme at a press conference at his Lalbagh office in the city.
He demanded scrapping of all secular and anti-Islamic provisions from the constitution.
Amini, chairman of an Islami Oikya Jote faction, also announced a rally in Dhaka for July 14. "The country is heading towards non-stop hartal due to the government's anti-Islamic activities," he said.
Earlier on Sunday, BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami announced a 48-hour countrywide hartal from tomorrow. Amini's IOJ is part of the BNP-led four-party alliance.
