NCP Leader’s Remarks on Lockdown and Awami League
NCP’s Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary stated that there is no reason for citizens to be afraid of Awami League’s planned lockdown on November 13. Speaking at a program organized by the National Health Alliance — a joint platform of health professionals and students — at the Dhaka Reporters Unity on Wednesday (November 12), he made strong remarks about Awami League and the country’s current political situation. He said,
“আগামীকাল সকল দল মাঠে থাকবে। আর আওয়ামী লীগকে মাঠে ঠেকাতে এনসিপির এক হাসনাত আবদুল্লাহই যথেষ্ট। এটা নিয়ে আপনাদের কোনো টেনশন নেই। দেশে তাদের মরণ হয়ে গেছে, এখন দুর্গন্ধ ছড়াচ্ছে।”
Translation: “All parties will be in the field tomorrow. And one Hasnat Abdullah from NCP is enough to stop Awami League on the ground. You don’t need to worry about it. They are politically dead now; only their stench remains in the country.”

Call to Allied Parties to Continue the Movement
Nasiruddin Patwary also urged eight allied parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami, to stay firm on their five-point demand, which includes the implementation of the July National Charter and the referendum before the election.
Comments on BNP and Public Sentiment
He mentioned that former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia once had a strong connection with the people’s pulse, which helped BNP grow into one of the country’s major parties. However, he criticized the current leadership for being out of touch with the people.

Criticism of the Interim Government
Nasiruddin Patwary also criticized the interim government, calling it disconnected from the people and ineffective in addressing public demands. He stated,
“অন্তর্বর্তী সরকার জনবিচ্ছিন্ন সরকারে পরিণত হয়েছে। গত ১ বছরে যারা নিজেদের অধিকার নিয়ে সরকারের কাছে এসেছে, কারও দাবিই পূরণ করতে পারেনি। সরকার প্রতিশ্রুতি দিলো, সেই প্রতিশ্রুতি বাস্তবায়নের জন্য আবার মাঠে নামতে হচ্ছে—এটা সরকারের জন্য লজ্জার।”
Translation: “The interim government has become disconnected from the people. In the past year, none of the groups that appealed for their rights have had their demands fulfilled. The government makes promises, but people must take to the streets again to see them fulfilled — this is a shame for the government.”
