A secret banner announcing the reopening of the banned Bangladesh Awami League’s Charfassion upazila office in Bhola was discovered early Sunday, February 22, 2026. Locals believe it was placed late the previous night on the wall of the party’s old office on College Road. The banner bore the name of a central Jubo League member, Md. Nazmul Hossain Jewel. Witnesses said those who hung it left quickly, and the banner was later removed by a local Jubo Dal leader before noon.

The incident stirred significant local reaction. Anti-fascist activists on social media described it as an attempt to disturb Charfassion’s peaceful environment. Former BNP upazila secretary Motahar Hossain Alamgir Maltia and NCP youth coordinator Shahadat Khondaker Monju condemned the act and demanded that authorities identify those responsible. Police confirmed they were investigating after being alerted.

The office had been unused since protesters vandalized it during the August 5, 2024 uprising. It was briefly used by the NCP’s local branch before being locked again, leaving its current status uncertain.
