Nahid Islam, Convener of the National Citizens Party (NCP), stated that the era of political godfathers had ended under Sheikh Hasina’s leadership and vowed not to let a new generation of such figures emerge.

He criticized the ruling Awami League for allegedly exploiting Cox’s Bazar in the name of tourism, turning it into a hub of drug trafficking. He emphasized the need for environmentally friendly tourism and the protection of local people's rights.

On the Rohingya issue, Nahid said, “We have compassion for the Rohingya, but hosting them indefinitely is unjust to the people of Cox’s Bazar.” He urged for a prompt solution to facilitate their repatriation.
