Muhammad Rashed Khan, Secretary General of Gono Adhikar Parishad, has condemned the recent unrest in Cox's Bazar following provocative comments by NCP leader Nasiruddin Patwari.

He warned that internal political division could lead to a repeat of the 1/11 military-backed takeover, potentially paving the way for Sheikh Hasina’s return to power. Khan recounted how Patwari previously had to de-escalate tensions after controversial remarks about Ziaur Rahman, involving late-night coordination with party leaders. He called for unity among anti-authoritarian forces and urged adherence to principled leadership.
