BNP Organizing Secretary Shama Obaid has declared that extortionists and those engaged in unethical practices have no place in the party. Speaking during a constituency visit in Saltha, she said, “If anyone in BNP, even from my own team, is involved in wrongdoing, hand them over to the police. We will not protect them.” She emphasized the need to root out corruption, extortion, and political exploitation to ensure genuine development. During visits to 20 Durga Puja mandaps, Shama stressed BNP’s commitment to equal treatment of all religious communities. She warned that fascist elements might try to disrupt the festivities but assured that BNP activists would guard temples around the clock to maintain peace.
