NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain warned that unless the Awami League is held accountable for its actions, Bangladesh could again fall into fascism and autocracy.

Speaking at the Jamaat rally, he said those opposing Proportional Representation (PR) in elections are betraying the nation. “The Awami League has even denied the people their basic right to practice Islam,” he claimed. He called for justice for the martyrs of 24 and pledged peaceful coexistence among all religious communities.
