Nasir Uddin Patwari, chief coordinator of the National Citizens Party (NCP), declared that his party would not make any compromise with the current government over the issue of state reform. He made the statement on Friday, June 19, 2026, while speaking to journalists before visiting the shrine of Khan Jahan Ali in Bagerhat. Patwari said the government was not implementing necessary reforms, prompting his party to take to the streets. He also commented that if the BNP government denied 75 percent of the people, its downfall would not take long.

After visiting the shrine, Patwari planted two trees in the premises of the Sixty Dome Mosque and joined the Friday prayers there. During his interaction with reporters, he elaborated on his party’s stance regarding state reform, ongoing judicial processes against Awami League members, and issues concerning loan defaulters. He also discussed various aspects of national politics and urged collective efforts to preserve Bagerhat’s historical and religious heritage.

Local NCP leaders, administrative officials, and other participants were present during his visit and discussions.
