NCP spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan issued a strong warning against fascism during a rally at Cumilla Town Hall field on Tuesday evening, January 27, 2026. He condemned an alleged attack on Nasir Uddin Patowary by Chhatra Dal activists and said that if any group behaves like a fascist government, they will face similar consequences. Asif declared that the people will not tolerate oppression.

He reiterated his earlier proposal to form a Cumilla Division following a mass uprising, emphasizing that it should be named after Cumilla and implemented through an upper house meeting. Asif urged citizens to vote “yes” in the upcoming referendum regardless of symbol and said that while opposition parties faced repression under the Awami League government, the situation has now changed and people will no longer remain silent.

Asif also criticized delays in constructing the Cumilla City Corporation building, alleging political interference, and pledged voting rights from age 16 and job guarantees for youth. He accused the BNP of spreading false propaganda about fake family card distribution.
