National Citizen Party (NCP) spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan called on Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to introduce an anti-extortion and anti-corruption card to address what he described as Bangladesh’s most pressing problems. He made the remarks on Monday evening at the NCP’s temporary central office in Banglamotor during a reception for the newly formed partial committee of Dhaka South.

Asif Mahmud stated that the NCP’s doors would remain open to all citizens except those involved in genocide, fascism, terrorism, or extortion. Criticizing the government, he said it had failed to fulfill public expectations and implement the results of the referendum, adding that administrative weaknesses were evident. He also questioned the government’s claim of having the highest fuel reserves while long queues persisted at fuel stations and criticized the printing of twenty thousand crore taka.

Discussing local government elections, he emphasized strengthening the NCP as an organization and ensuring that no vote cast for the party would be wasted, promising strong vigilance at every polling center.
