Home ministry bars Bishwa Ijtema, Khurujer Jor in Tongi

In light of the prevailing situation in the country and in order to smoothly conduct the upcoming national election and referendum, the home ministry has ordered that the "Khurujer Jor" and "Bishwa Ijtema" scheduled at the Tongi Bishwa Ijtema Maidan not be organised in 2026.

According to the instructions, the Khurujer Jor scheduled January 2–4, 2026, and the Bishwa Ijtema scheduled January 22–24, 2026, cannot be organised.

Confirming the matter this morning, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Tongi West Police Station Shahin Khan told The Daily Star that on Tuesday, deputy secretary of the political branch of the home ministry, Md Anwar Parvez, issued a notification in this regard.

The notification mentioned that on behalf of Tabligh Jamaat Bangladesh, Mohammad Zubair, khatib and principal of Madrasa Ulumiddinia Malwali Mosque and Ahle Shura, had applied to organise Khurujer Jor and Bishwa Ijtema at the Tongi Bishwa Ijtema Maidan.

However, in order to conduct the 13th National Parliament Election and the 2026 referendum in a fair, peaceful and uninterrupted manner, necessary measures were ordered to be taken not to organise Khurujer Jor, Bishwa Ijtema or any other type of gathering or event at the Tongi Bishwa Ijtema Maidan during the pre-election period.

OC Shahin further said that necessary measures have already been taken in view of the letter from the ministry.
