It circled important main roads, passed through Gaurangabazar Mor, Kalibari Mor and Akhrabazar Mor, and went to Bara Bazar Mor through Rathkhala and ended with a rally.

Kishoreganj District Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Professor Md. Ramzan Ali, Nayeb-e-Ameer Principal Maulana Azizul Haque, District Secretary Maulana Nazmul Islam, Former Ameer Principal of District Jamaat-e-Islami Taiboozzaman, Assistant Secretary Shamsul Alam Selim, Dhaka Metropolitan North Jamaat Majlish-e-Shura Member Ad Rokon Reza Sheikh, District Jamaat-e-Islami Working Committee Member Professor Azulul Haque, City Jamaat-e-Ameer Maulana A.M.M. Abdul Haque, Sadar Upazila Jamaat Ameer Qari Nazrul Islam, District Workers Welfare Federation President Khaled Hasan Jummon, Islami Chhatra Shibir Kishoreganj District Branch President Hasan Al Mamun and other leaders were present.

District Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Prof Md. Ramzan Ali said at the rally, our Central Assistant Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam has been detained in prison for more than 13 years. He has been repeatedly remanded and subjected to physical and mental torture. He fell seriously ill several times. He was not given even the minimum medical care. After August 5, many people have been released from jail in many cases. But why has ATM Azharul Islam not been released yet?

He also said, we want to believe that there will be no discrimination during the tenure of this government, which was formed after the student-public movement against discrimination. But it is very regrettable that discrimination still exists.
