Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim (Charmonai Pir), also the Amir of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, has sharply criticized the government, saying its success in running the country is not visible to the public. Instead, a clear picture of failure is emerging.
Speaking as chief guest at a workshop organized by the party’s central students and women’s affairs department at its central office in Puran Paltan on Monday (9 November), he expressed particular concern over the deteriorating law-and-order situation.
He pointed to recent cocktail explosions and incidents of vehicles being set on fire in Dhaka and other parts of the country, and demanded effective measures to stop such incidents.
He also urged the government to control commodity prices and ensure a fair minimum wage for workers.
The workshop was presided over by Sheikh Md. Abu Taher, the party’s central students and women’s affairs secretary. Joint secretaries-general Principal Hafez Maulana Sheikh Fazle Bari Masud and Shah Iftekhar Tariq attended as special guests.
