Newly elected Member of Parliament ABM Ashraf Uddin Nizan of Lakshmipur-4 has announced a strict position to uphold party discipline and ensure public safety following allegations of violence and extortion in Ramgati. Two separate cases were filed on Saturday night against 26 BNP activists accused of using political influence to commit acts of violence, extortion, and armed demonstrations. Police have already arrested two suspects, Miraj and Riaz, and continue operations to detain others.

According to the case reports, on February 13 and 14, groups of BNP and affiliated organization members allegedly carried out armed processions and demanded large sums of money from business owners and brick kiln operators in several unions, including Char Poragacha and Ramdayal Bazar. Incidents included demands for Tk 2 million in extortion, assaults on workers, and property damage estimated at Tk 50,000.

MP Nizan stated that no one involved in extortion or violence would be spared, regardless of party affiliation, and that offenders would face legal and organizational action. The incidents have stirred public concern, with residents demanding exemplary punishment for those responsible.
