Islami Andolon leader Syed Faizul Karim has criticized the BNP for objecting to the proportional representation (PR) system, arguing that it would benefit them.

Speaking at a protest march near Baitul Mukarram, he said, “A senior BNP leader himself claimed they have 90% of the people’s support. If that is true, then under PR they should win more than 270 seats.”

Karim also warned that if the interim government delays reforms and elections under foreign influence, a united movement will erupt. He demanded a legal foundation for the “July Charter,” which he said was the demand of the people, not just his party.
