Nasiruddin Patwari, chief coordinator of the National Citizens Party (NCP), claimed that Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani’s historic party symbol, the ‘paddy sheaf,’ has been stolen. He made the remark on Wednesday at a seminar held at the NCP’s temporary central office in Banglamotor, Dhaka, titled ‘Farmers’ distress amid government conditions and untimely heavy rain: crisis and solutions,’ organized by the party’s agriculture cell. Patwari said Bhasani had chosen the symbol to represent Bangladesh’s agrarian roots, but now the emblem and its spirit have been lost.
Expressing concern over the agricultural situation, Patwari alleged that the rice market is now controlled by business syndicates rather than farmers, with profits shifting from rural producers to urban traders. He also criticized government projects such as smart cards and farmer cards, saying the NCP would respond with its own ‘red card’ if these initiatives fail. Other speakers, including agricultural economist Dr. Jahangir Alam and NCP leaders Golam Mortuza Selim, Dr. Atik Mujahid, and Sarowar Tushar, discussed production losses from floods and irrigation shortages, syndicate control in rice procurement, and the government’s lack of early weather warnings.
Speakers warned that disruptions in rice production could threaten food security, economic stability, and national sovereignty if not addressed promptly.
