NCP leader Sarjis Alam has alleged that the concept of a “refined Awami League” is an Indian idea, which will not materialize in post-coup Bangladesh.

He said those responsible for the BDR massacre, the Shapla Square killings of Islamic scholars, and the 2024 student uprising massacre “can never be allowed to participate in Bangladeshi politics.”

Sarjis compared the Awami League and Jatiya Party to “partners in crime,” insisting that just as Awami League’s activities have been banned, Jatiya Party’s should be too. He also warned against student politics being used to exploit schools, alleging it would lead to drug trade and extortion.
