Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP), said that a major political party has become fearful after witnessing the surge of popular support for the 10-party alliance ahead of the upcoming national election. He alleged that this party is spreading misleading information among the public and creating an atmosphere of fear. Nahid Islam emphasized that extortionists and land grabbers must be resisted in the forthcoming election. We did not retreat even after facing gunfire, and we will not retreat from the polling centers either,” he said. He also noted that the Dhaka-11 constituency is plagued by numerous problems, including severe traffic congestion, extortion, and land grabbing.
