Hundreds of thousands of Jamaat-e-Islami supporters gathered in the Bangladeshi capital on Saturday to demonstrate their strength ahead of early elections in April. The caretaker government led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus said elections could also be held in February, as demanded by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Jamaat-e-Islami, which has played a controversial role in the country's history, said it plans to mobilize a million people for rallies.
