Dr. Tasnim Jara, senior joint member secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP), expressed deep concern over the recent incident involving AB Party General Secretary Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad in Barishal’s Babuganj area. In a Facebook post on Sunday, she condemned the use of threats and abusive slogans against Fuad, emphasizing that such behavior undermines democratic culture. Jara stated that political differences are natural, but physical or verbal assaults on opponents are unacceptable. Her remarks followed an event where Fuad faced hostility during a foundation stone ceremony for the Mirganj Bridge. Fuad had alleged attempts of extortion and tender manipulation linked to the project, which triggered anger among local BNP activists. Local BNP leaders denied the allegations, claiming the protest was spontaneous and warning that Fuad would be declared unwelcome if he did not apologize. The episode has reignited debate over political intolerance and the need for civility in Bangladesh’s electoral environment.
