Islami Andolan Bangladesh will hold nationwide protests on June 16 against the attack on its mayor nominee Mufti Syed Faizul Karim.
This information was revealed in a statement signed by Maulana Yunus Ahmed, secretary general of the party, on Tuesday.
Maulana Yunus Ahmed criticized the Election Commission in the statement, alleging that the commission had displayed a severe failure during the City Corporation elections.
He stated: "With this commission in place, holding national elections is not possible."
He further added: "The Election Commission failed to ensure the security of a mayoral candidate."
In light of these circumstances, Maulana Yunus called for the resignation of the election commissioner.
Yunus added: "Through the shedding of a mayoral candidate's blood, the occupation of polling stations by foreign militants, and the assault on voters, the Awami League's victory signifies the manifestation of tyranny."
