Sarjis Alam, chief organizer of the National Citizen Party (NCP) for the northern region and head of its local government election committee, stated that his party is not anti-state toward India or any other country. Speaking at a discussion titled 'Shapla Massacre; A Decade of Impunity' organized by the National Olama Alliance at the Institute of Diploma Engineers in Dhaka on May 12, he emphasized that Bangladesh cannot maintain friendship with any country that approaches it with a mindset of dominance or exploitation.

Alam criticized remarks made by Indian state leaders about Bangladesh’s border issues, calling it shameful that Bangladesh’s home minister dismissed such comments as unofficial. He accused Indian politics, particularly in West Bengal, of promoting communalism and anti-Muslim sentiment, and said Bangladesh should have the courage to express opinions on such human rights violations despite them being internal matters of another country.

He further warned that any foreign government attempting to sustain power in Bangladesh by ignoring the people’s will would fail in the future, urging Bangladesh’s civil administration, police, and army to uphold national dignity and independence.
