Customers under the banner of the Conscious Customer Forum held a rally and protest march in Dhaka demanding the removal of Islami Bank’s newly appointed chairman, Khurshid Alam. The demonstration began at 11 a.m. in front of the bank’s head office and concluded at the National Press Club. Protesters alleged that Alam had previously been dismissed from Bangladesh Bank after the July Movement due to involvement in financial irregularities, and they warned that his leadership could endanger the bank’s stability.
Forum president Nurun Nabi Manik stated that Islami Bank is the largest in Southeast Asia and that its collapse could severely impact the national economy. He urged the government to ensure proper management and to appoint those who had contributed to the bank’s earlier success. The group emphasized that their movement was lawful and aimed at protecting customer interests.
The protest followed earlier demonstrations and human chains held on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, the bank’s scheduled board meeting was disrupted by protests and later held virtually under Alam’s chairmanship, where the resignation of Managing Director Omar Faruk Khan was accepted.
