Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim, the Chormonai Pir, urged giving the 'Hatpakha' party a chance in politics, saying many parties have already had their opportunities. Speaking at a youth rally in Kishoreganj, he warned that repeated failures call for new leadership, promising to quit politics if they fail.

He also criticized India, stating Bangladesh differs from India not by physical barriers but by ideals and principles. The Pir issued a stark warning that if Islam declines in Bangladesh, the country could end up under Indian control like Sikkim.
