Nasiruddin Patwari, chief organizer of the National Citizens Party (NCP), stated that police stations should not serve as tools of partisan control but must become institutions of public trust and justice. He made this remark in a Facebook post on Friday night, emphasizing the need to abandon the culture of political servitude.

Earlier that day, Patwari was attacked in Jhenaidah after attending Friday prayers at the Old DC Court Jame Mosque. According to his Facebook post, members of the Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal allegedly launched the assault in the presence of police. The attackers reportedly threw eggs and bricks before striking with hockey sticks, injuring several people, including three with head wounds. Patwari said he was also punched and that the attackers snatched mobile phones, cameras, and wallets.

The incident highlights tensions surrounding political activities in Jhenaidah, with Patwari’s comments calling for institutional neutrality and public confidence in law enforcement.
