Hasnat Abdullah, chief organizer for the southern region of the National Citizens Party (NCP), declared that if entrusted with responsibility, he would take strict action against extortionists, drug dealers, and loan defaulters. Speaking on Friday, January 30, 2026, at an election rally in Moricha village of Rajamehar Union, Debidwar upazila in Comilla, he warned those involved in drug trade to abandon illegal activities and promised to help them find lawful means of livelihood such as small businesses or cattle rearing.

Abdullah criticized the culture of compromise in politics with drug lords and extortionists, alleging that many senior leaders had long accepted money from drug barons but were now on the run. He also condemned attempts by individuals to misuse photos with him for personal gain, stressing that no one, not even his own family, would receive illegal favors. He emphasized that his campaign was focused on ordinary people rather than corrupt networks.

Highlighting the importance of women voters, Abdullah said he believed mothers, aunts, and sisters would play a decisive role in sending him to parliament.
