In an official statement issued on Friday (September 25, 2026), Nahid Islam stated that despite demonstrating merit across written and subsequent selection stages, these young candidates endured an eight-month-long ordeal of uncertainty and harassment during the verification process, only to be denied appointment letters at the final hour. He highlighted that the majority of those excluded have no criminal records, pending cases, or past ties to militant or criminal activities. Criticizing the lack of transparency, accountability, and clear criteria, Nahid Islam demanded the immediate appointment of all innocent candidates against whom no specific legal allegations exist, alongside public disclosure of the criteria used for background verifications.
