A local BNP leader in Fatullah, Narayanganj, has been accused of printing and selling fake 'Family Cards' based on the party’s election manifesto and collecting money from women. The accused, identified as Russell alias Jilani, allegedly sold the cards under the name 'Jisan Traders' with his wife. On Monday, anger erupted in Kashipur Union’s Narsingpur area when buyers, mostly women, realized they had been deceived after failing to receive promised goods. They protested and surrounded the leader’s house.

According to reports, Russell and his wife distributed around 300 cards across several localities, charging Tk 50 each. Buyers were told they could purchase Tk 1,725 worth of goods for Tk 1,285 monthly using the cards. Fatullah BNP president Shahidul Islam Titu clarified that although the 'Family Card' was mentioned in the party’s manifesto, no official program had begun, and he urged authorities to act against those involved. Narayanganj Sadar Upazila Executive Officer S.M. Faiz Uddin Ahmed said the matter would be investigated promptly.

Local women expressed frustration, saying they were misled into believing the cards were government-backed and were left waiting in vain for the promised goods.
