NCP leader Samanta Sharmin declared in Bhola that there is no place for the Awami "terrorist" party in Bangladesh. She called for the prosecution of this "fascist and genocidal" party in an international court. Sharmin stated that for 15 years, one party ruled Bangladesh, but on August 5, the student movement ousted the Awami League. However, she noted that some groups, who were nowhere to be found during those years, are now trying to take credit. She accused them of extortion and spreading fear in local communities. She emphasized that Bangladesh's student movement stands firm against corruption and terrorism.
