NCP candidate for Panchagarh-1, Sarjis Alam, stated at a press conference in Panchagarh on Wednesday that a discrepancy in his election affidavit was due to a typing mistake by his lawyer. He explained that his income was mistakenly listed as 2.8 million taka instead of 0.9 million, calling it an unintentional error that was later corrected through proper legal procedures. The returning officer, he said, declared his candidacy valid as the major information in the affidavit was accurate.
During the briefing, Alam accused propaganda pages linked to the Awami League of spreading misinformation and fake content about him on social media. He urged the government and the Election Commission to take legal action against such disinformation. He also alleged that BNP grassroots activists were threatening NCP supporters and their families, warning that such intimidation and misuse of power could undermine the fairness of the upcoming election.
Alam called on the media to maintain professionalism and neutrality before the election, emphasizing that transparent journalism is essential for a fair electoral process.
