Islami Andolan Bangladesh’s Amir and Charmonai Pir Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim declared that the rule of what he called new tyrants and fascists will not survive the upcoming February 12 election. Speaking on Saturday evening at a campaign rally in Kalapara, Patuakhali-4 constituency, he said the election would mark the people’s victory against injustice, corruption, and misrule. The rally was organized in support of Islami Andolan’s candidate Professor Md. Mostafizur Rahman, symbolized by the hand fan.

Karim warned those who use fear and intimidation in politics to reflect on their actions. He compared current rulers to historical despots, saying their power would also collapse. Referring to the July uprising, he described it as a protest against 54 years of corruption and oppression, asserting that the demand for change arose from deep social grievances. He said Islami Andolan nominated only honest and people-friendly candidates.

The event drew a large crowd, with thousands joining a procession through Kalapara town before the rally, creating a festive atmosphere.
