Amir of Islami Andolon Bangladesh, Rezaul Karim, has renewed his party’s demand for proportional representation (PR) in national elections, stressing that only such a system can prevent authoritarian rule.
Speaking at a public gathering, Karim said his party has consistently demanded PR-based elections since 2008, alongside legal recognition of the July Charter and restoration of law and order.
He argued that the current system produces “fascists” and leaves 60 percent of the population neglected. By contrast, PR elections would ensure broader representation.
He criticized the Yunus-led government for failing to deliver on its promises of reform, justice, and free elections.
