Jamaat-e-Islami leader Dr. Muhammad Rezaul Karim said Bangladesh could have rivaled Europe, the U.S., or Singapore in development had corruption been curbed over the past 54 years. Speaking at a unit representatives' conference in Turag, he claimed that true prosperity and employment can only be achieved through divine law and righteous governance. He called on citizens to support the nationwide rally on July 19 and to spread the message of Islam at every household.
