Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB) will ensure the security of minorities following Islamic principles for running the state if voted to power, its Ameer Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim said yesterday. Islam is a proven system of governance for all oppressed and vulnerable people, including minorities, he said while campaigning in various constituencies of Lalmonirhat and Rangpur, according to a statement from the party. “We have come to seek your votes by presenting Islam as an alternative, to turn the demands of the students and the people into reality. To erase 54 years of failure and to build the Bangladesh of our dreams, vote for the Hand Fan symbol. He also claimed only IAB clearly presented Islam as the guiding principle for running the state in Bangladesh.
