National Citizen Party (NCP) leader and Member of Parliament Hasnat Abdullah alleged that the current government has undermined the independence of the judiciary and brought it under the control of the Ministry of Law. He made the remarks on Wednesday afternoon at a rally and march organized by the NCP in Lalmai, Comilla. The event began near Bagmara High School and concluded at Bagmara South Bazar, where Abdullah addressed the gathering as chief guest.

During his speech, Abdullah said the NCP is working to build a just and discrimination-free state and aims to strengthen its organizational presence across all administrative levels in Comilla. He criticized the government for politicizing state institutions and claimed that merit is being ignored in university recruitment in favor of political loyalty, which he described as a threat to the education system.

Abdullah urged young people to engage in political activism and said the NCP would shape its future programs based on public expectations ahead of the next election. Party leaders reaffirmed their commitment to building a Bangladesh based on justice, solidarity, equality, and prosperity.
