After the attack on NCP leader Akhtar Hossain at JFK Airport, party leader Tasnim Jara responded defiantly: “They thought throwing eggs and hurling insults would humiliate us. But insults can never bury the truth.”
In a statement, she called for a politics of dignity, where citizens receive respect without bribery, patients are treated without VIP status, women move safely, students protest without facing bullets, and people criticize leaders without fear. “Our dignity politics means no one in Bangladesh will be silenced through fear, bribery, or humiliation,” Jara asserted.
