At a divisional conference of Jubo Shakti in Rangpur on Friday evening, Member of Parliament Atik Mujahid criticized the Home Minister for failing to maintain overall national security. He said the minister’s inability to focus on key issues has led to a deterioration in law and order. Mujahid also questioned the government’s silence regarding claims that thousands of people had entered Bangladesh illegally, calling it a serious security threat.

He further alleged that the government was discriminating against opposition parties in budget allocations, giving ruling party constituencies far more funds. Mujahid expressed frustration over the lack of progress in implementing the Teesta mega project, saying the government had only offered assurances without setting a timeline. He warned that continued river erosion was destroying farmland and homes while the government remained inactive.

National Jubo Shakti convener Advocate Tarikul Islam echoed concerns about rising insecurity and accused the government of weakness in handling Awami League activities. He urged the government to abandon its unilateral approach to governance and take effective measures to restore public safety.
