A case has been filed against Nasiruddin Patwari, chief coordinator of the NCP, for allegedly making defamatory and threatening remarks against Mirza Abbas Uddin Ahmed, the Prime Minister’s political adviser and a BNP Standing Committee member. The case was lodged on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Hasan Shahadat by Md Ashraful Islam, president of the Ramna unit of the Nationalist Party. The plaintiff’s lawyer, Md Amirul Islam Amir, confirmed that the application had been submitted and that a hearing on its admissibility would take place later in the day.

According to the complaint, Patwari had made false and defamatory statements during and after the 13th parliamentary election, in which he lost to Mirza Abbas. The plaintiff alleged that Patwari continued spreading such remarks through social media and online news outlets, including a Facebook post on March 5 that went viral. The statements reportedly damaged Mirza Abbas’s reputation and were described as offensive and uncivil. The complaint also requested the issuance of an arrest warrant against Patwari.
