In a fiery political address, Abdul Hannan Masud, a key member of the National Citizen Party (NCP) Political Board, fiercely criticized both the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the Awami League, labeling them alternating faces of political violence, extortion, and enforced disappearances.
Speaking at a political gathering organized in the capital's Mohammadpur area on Tuesday afternoon (October 27, 2026), the NCP leader asserted that his party entered active politics not as a proxy substitute for traditional parties, but as a genuine alternative to transform the destiny of Bangladesh’s citizens.
Reflecting on past anti-government movements, Masud alleged that corruption and extortion have worsened, claiming commission rates in governance have escalated from 10% under the previous regime to 20% today. He sharply criticized Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's administration over grassroots extortion and the inclusion of political partisans rather than sovereign, economic, and border experts on official overseas state visits. Furthermore, Masud referenced historic political turning points from 1991, 1996, and 2006, emphasizing that recent mass uprisings were driven by the sheer discontent of working-class citizens rather than party directives, and urged full implementation of electoral reforms, bicameral legislative structures, and democratic governance mandates.
