Hasanath Abdullah, chief organizer of the National Citizens Party (NCP) for the southern region and Member of Parliament for Cumilla-4, has accused the BNP of using the July movement to come to power and later denying its ideals. Speaking as the chief guest at a street rally organized by the NCP on Friday evening at Osman Chattar in Raipur, Lakshmipur, he said the BNP had exploited the sacrifices of the wounded and martyred families of July for political gain.

He noted that the Home Minister took 46 minutes in parliament to respond to a two-minute statement from their party, which he said reflected the importance of the issues they raised. Abdullah also urged the government to provide immediate relief and rehabilitation for people affected by floods in several districts of the Chattogram division. Criticizing the BNP government, he said it was failing to meet public expectations and moving away from the aspirations of the July movement.

Calling for unity, Abdullah emphasized that no government can survive long while ignoring public opinion and participation, and urged collective efforts to ensure accountability and reform the state.
