NARSINGDI, Nov 4 (UNB): With the national election approaching, Senior Naib-e-Ameer of Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB), Mufti Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim has called on voters to test the party's governance by casting their vote for its symbol, the hand-fan, in the upcoming election.
He made the appeal while addressing a mass gathering at Polash Upazila Bus Stand in Narsingdi on Tuesday, demanding justice for the July genocide, necessary state reforms, and elections under the proportional representation (PR) system.
Addressing the rally as the chief guest, he recalled his personal involvement in the July struggle, saying, "I was on the field myself. I saw no other leader there. I risked my life facing guns and cannons to stop oppression, rape, killings, and plunder in the country. But after July, these atrocities have returned in an even more heinous form. We cannot accept this."
He urged voters to elect his party through the hand-fan symbol, asserting, "A victory for the hand-fan means a victory for the poor and hardworking, for the helpless. If Islam comes to power, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians alike will live in peace. The destitute will receive relief. If we are entrusted with responsibility, no money will be sent abroad."
He also said, challenging voters, "You have seen many symbols like the boat, sheaf of paddy, and plough. This time, test us. If we fail to keep our promises, we will never come before you again."
