Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim, Amir of Islami Andolon Bangladesh, has declared that elections in Bangladesh will no longer be allowed under the existing system. He asserted that the majority of political parties now favor a Proportional Representation (PR) model. “If necessary, a referendum must be held to determine whether the people want PR,” he said. Karim accused the interim government of breaking promises regarding reforms and accountability. He further demanded that the perpetrators of the July massacre be brought to justice before the next national election is held.
