Islamic movement leader Faizul Karim has sharply criticized the country’s ruling class, saying they have failed to bring any meaningful welfare to the people in the past 53 years.

Addressing a gathering, Karim said:
“For decades, the rulers have been tested, but they have given the people nothing worthwhile. Now, I urge you—test Islam once. Islam has not come into this world to fail; it has come to triumph. If we fail, we will not come before you again.”

During the event, he also announced Dr. Noor Alam Siddique, President of Islami Andolon Bangladesh’s Dinajpur South District branch, as the party’s candidate for the Dinajpur-6 parliamentary seat.
