Nasiruddin Patwari, chief coordinator of the National Citizen Party (NCP), said internal divisions between BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami are allowing the Awami League to regain political ground. Speaking at a party event in Dhaka, he criticized both opposition groups for failing to coordinate their movements. Patwari warned that without political reform, Sheikh Hasina’s governance structure could reemerge repeatedly. He also expressed concerns about the Election Commission’s capacity to hold a referendum and national election on the same day, urging the government and political parties to strengthen the commission. Patwari further accused the Awami League of spreading fear and using its past economic gains to destabilize the political environment. He noted that the upcoming November 17 verdict on Sheikh Hasina would mark a new milestone for Bangladesh’s judiciary.
