Bangladesh Jamaaat-e-Islam has said that they wants to hold the referendum in November.

"We`ve told them that the referendum and the national election are on two separate days...you, take preparation mentally for conducting these separately," said Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher while responding reporters after a meeting between a Jamaat delegation and the Commission in the capital.

Dr Taher said if the referendum and the national election are held in a single day simultaneously, it would undermine the importance of the reform or the July National Charter.

A five-member Bangladesh Jamaaat-e-Islam delegation, led by Dr Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher, met the Election Commission at Nirbachan Bhaban on Monday.
