Extortionists and autocrats are becoming one and the same: Nahid Islam

He made the allegation at a citizens' meeting held at the auditorium of Shariatpur Municipality at noon on Tuesday (October 13).

Nahid Islam said that after the election, the BNP government has once again created discrimination. He alleged that the country is being run just like Awami League through extortion and syndicates. He claimed that due to Awami League abroad and BNP at home, people are being deprived of their rights and the possibility of establishing democracy has been destroyed.

At the meeting, NCP's chief organizer for the northern region, Sarjis Alam, said that after the July movement, because the BNP formed the government, they had hoped to establish a people's government. But partisan influence is being seen in various appointments and fertilizer dealer appointments. He also alleged that instead of merit and experience, priority is being given to MPs' sons and relatives.

The meeting was organized to protest the deterioration of law and order, the increase in fuel oil prices, the rise in commodity prices, partisanization in fertilizer dealer appointments, recruitment trade, and corruption.

With district NCP convener Advocate Mohammad Ruhul Amin in the chair, Nahid Islam was the chief guest at the meeting. At the time, leaders and activists of various levels of the party, including Sarjis Alam, were present.
