The National Congress Party (NCP) has clarified its stance following media reports linking it to an eight-party joint program. Senior Joint Convener Ariful Islam Adib said the reports were “misleading,” noting that NCP has not decided on joining any alliance or joint movement. While informal discussions took place with other parties regarding the July Charter and constitutional reforms, Adib stated that NCP supports proportional representation only in the upper house, not full PR-based national elections. However, the party supports suspending the organizational activities of the Jatiya Party, citing its role in aiding fascism.
