The National Citizens Party (NCP) has expressed concern over the show-cause notices issued to four journalists of Ekhon Television and the reported harassment of Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) Managing Director Mahbub Morshed. In a statement signed by the party’s media cell member Sadia Farzana Dinar on Thursday, February 19, 2026, the NCP warned that failure to learn from the fate of past autocrats could lead to similar consequences for new ones.
The statement said the incidents reflect worrying signs for freedom of expression under the new government, which had been formed just a day earlier. According to the NCP, the journalists were questioned for expressing support for reform and referendum on Facebook, while a mob was allegedly mobilized to remove the BSS chief. The party accused media owners of exerting pressure and appointing partisan figures to control editorial positions.
The NCP demanded reinstatement of the Ekhon TV journalists and retention of the BSS editor, emphasizing that the democratic right to free expression, achieved through the July uprising, must not be lost.
