Because of this, even if this party is a political party, they cannot participate in the national elections with the party symbol. Due to which there is a lot of anger towards their government. Even though the program was delayed due to fasting, now their destructive attitude is being noticed. Before the verdict was announced, the Jamaat had announced that if the verdict went against them, they would call a continuous hartal. And for this reason, political analysts fear that there is a possibility of widespread violence in Jamaat's hartal.
