NCP Convener Nahid Islam clarified that the two student advisers currently in the interim government have no affiliation with the NCP. “They joined as representatives of the public uprising, not as NCP members,” he said. NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain added, “We’re beginning to see signs of a repeat of the January 11 era. The public’s expectations of reform, justice, and fair elections are fading amid rising confusion.” He emphasized that the government must consult political parties before making key decisions.
