Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim, the Charmonai Pir and leader of Islami Andolon Bangladesh, stated that there's nothing new to see from the ruling Awami League, BNP, or Jatiya Party. “We’ve experienced their rule. Now the only ideology that offers peace in this world and salvation in the hereafter is Islam,” he said. Rezaul Karim also warned against political maneuvering to protect criminals and money launderers, stating that the people of Bangladesh will not tolerate such tactics. His party recently held a rally demanding elections through proportional representation.
