Hasnat Abdullah, Chief Organizer of NCP (South Region), declared a sit-in protest in front of the Chief Adviser’s residence, Jamuna, starting at 10 PM tonight. He stated that the protest will continue until there is a clear roadmap to try and ban the Awami League for its alleged crimes. “We will not align with anyone who fails to explicitly demand the prohibition of the genocidal Awami League,” he wrote. Notably, former President Abdul Hamid, accused in a murder case, reportedly fled the country last night.

The Youth Rights Council has issued a 48-hour ultimatum demanding the resignation of the Home Affairs Adviser over the departure of former President Abdul Hamid, who left the country at 3:05 a.m. on Thursday despite facing a murder case. In a memorandum to the Chief Adviser, the group questioned how such a high-profile exit could occur under the adviser's watch. If no explanation or action follows within the deadline, they threatened nationwide protests to demand his resignation and labeled the interim government as responsible.

The Bhasani Janashakti Party has called for constitutional recognition of four pivotal figures in Bangladesh’s history: Maulana Bhasani, A.K. Fazlul Huq, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and Ziaur Rahman. Additionally, they have submitted a proposal to the National Consensus Commission demanding similar recognition for freedom fighters and the martyrs of the July Uprising. The party’s proposal also includes reforms such as setting the minimum age for election candidates at 25, fixing the presidential and parliamentary terms at five years, and limiting caretaker governments to a three-month tenure.

NCP leader Hannan Masud claimed that former President Abdul Hamid was briefly detained at the airport but released following a phone call from "Chuppu’s office," referring to the current President. He questioned whether July revolutionaries would continue supporting the interim government after such incidents and called for either the removal of the President or the banning of the Awami League.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi stated that individuals who once supported the Awami League but are now disillusioned by its misrule, corruption, and money laundering are welcome to join the BNP.

Rizvi also announced a nationwide drive from May 15 to July 15 aiming to recruit over 10 million new primary members.

Sarjis Alam alleged that people are being extorted before and after being implicated in fabricated legal cases. “Money is demanded to avoid being named in cases, and again to have names removed,” he wrote. He also claimed that members of the ruling Awami League and its affiliated wings are sheltering criminals in exchange for money or manpower. “A portion of the police force still colludes with these political operatives,” he added, urging authorities to abandon such corrupt practices before public outrage grows.

During the appeal hearing for convicted Jamaat leader ATM Azharul Islam, defense counsel Mohammad Shishir Monir stated that the International Crimes Tribunal was biased and pre-planned.

He further alleged that individuals linked to the cases—such as Aman Azmi, Barrister Mir Ahmad Bin Quasem, and Humam Quader Chowdhury—were forcibly disappeared and held in secret detention.

Jamaat-e-Islami leader Shafiqur Rahman condemned the recent incident involving 102 Indians being forcibly pushed into Bangladesh by BSF personnel. “This unlawful act is creating chaos and disorder at our borders,” he said. Urging national unity, he called on the government to show no weakness and to reject all forms of aggression. National Security Advisor Khalilur Rahman had earlier termed the push-in “unacceptable,” stating that entry should only be allowed through formal channels if the individuals are indeed Bangladeshi citizens.

NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah has alleged that Indian intelligence agencies and its High Commission have held at least 23 meetings with various levels of the Bangladeshi government, military, and private sectors this month alone. He accused the Indian side of influencing internal matters to facilitate a potential reorganization of the Awami League, claiming delays in trials are being used to avoid banning the party. “If justice doesn’t include holding the Awami League accountable for war crimes, we reject that agenda,” he declared.

NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah criticized the justice system, stating that killers are being allowed to escape the country while courts grant bail to suspects. He accused authorities of issuing passports under state supervision for high-profile individuals like Shirin Sharmin. Referring to the delay in war crimes tribunal proceedings, he questioned the interim government's record on justice and reforms.

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, during a visit to a graveyard, said that Barrister Abdur Razzaq symbolized the fight for justice. Forced into exile due to political harassment, Razzaq represents the injustice faced by Jamaat leaders. Referring to executed and imprisoned party figures, Shafiqur Rahman expressed hope that war crimes convict ATM Azharul Islam would be acquitted and return to lead the party. He emphasized that if the July uprising is justly addressed, future tyrants will no longer find safe haven in Bangladesh.

The NCP noted that Zillur had previously been accused of threatening a journalist with death.

The Nationalist Citizens' Party (NCP) has voiced deep concern over India’s recent airstrikes in Pakistan, calling it a direct threat to regional peace and stability in South Asia. In a statement, the party urged all stakeholders to exercise utmost patience and restraint in the interest of regional harmony. It also warned that thousands of fugitive members of the fascist and genocidal Awami League currently residing in India pose a serious threat to Bangladesh’s internal security.

It called on the government and security forces to strengthen surveillance and institutional capacity along the borders and to act with the highest level of professionalism.
