At a prayer gathering, Islami Andolan leader Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim stated that Islami Andolan Bangladesh stood firm on the streets from the start to the end of the July movement. He emphasized that while others might have had exit points if the movement was disrupted, Islami Andolan’s leaders and activists had none. Faizul further claimed that those who met with the Awami League on August 3 and 4 last year are now claiming to be the architects of the July revolution. He highlighted the significant role played by expatriates during the revolution, noting that by halting remittance flows, they ‘dried up Sheikh Hasina’s lifeblood,’ which helped the revolution succeed.
