NCP leader Sarzis Alam has denounced the role of certain media outlets, accusing them of blindly serving political interests during the 2024 elections.

“We do not want a media that acts as a broker for any political party in the future. Several outlets, before the 2024 elections, shamelessly acted as mouthpieces for one particular party. Journalists from those platforms are now ashamed to even name their workplace,” Alam said.

He also criticized the lack of urgency in bringing justice for the murder of Maruf in Tangail, noting continued obstruction in addressing the killings that occurred in July and August in the region.

Alam further added, “During the popular uprising, Hasina fled quickly — a fact that forced us to make swift decisions at the time. Today, we closely observe which media outlets and administrative branches are serving the people, and which are serving political interests.” He also called out the selective recognition of national leaders, stating, “While Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is honored, Maulana Bhashani and Sher-e-Bangla A.K. Fazlul Huq remain unrecognized.”
