NCP will play decisive role in next national polls: Sarjis Alam
MYMENSINGH, Oct 14, 2025 (BSS) - National Citizen Party (NCP) Chief Organizer for the northern region, Sarjis Alam today said the NCP has emerged as an indispensable political force and will play a decisive role in the upcoming national elections to help form a stable and balanced parliament. "In the upcoming national election, the NCP will act as a deciding force and make a vital contribution to ensuring a stable and balanced parliament," Sarjis told a district-level organizational coordination meeting at Tarek Memorial Auditorium in the Town Hall area this evening. Sarjis said "Those who stand in the real political field will lead the struggle to uproot the fascism of Awami League. To ensure continuity of reforms and justice, the NCP will work tirelessly even after the election," Sarjis added.  Emphasizing youth empowerment as the most urgent demand for the country's future, he added, "The shape of tomorrow's Bangladesh will be defined through youth leadership arising from mass movements for education, healthcare and anti-corruption."  Expressing optimism about the party's organizational expansion, he said, "Very soon, the NCP will extend its organizational network to every ward across the country. After the implementation of the July Charter and the visible establishment of justice, the NCP will emerge as one of the leading political parties in the democratic elections." On the issue of the party symbol, Sarjis said, "There is no legal reason to deny us the 'Shapla' symbol. If anyone is deprived of it unjustly, we will not accept it."  "NCP will contest the elections with the 'Shapla' symbol and has the organizational capacity to field candidates in every constituency," he added. Commenting on electoral strategy, Sarjis said, "The NCP does not believe in negotiating for a few seats. However, if any political party comes forward with a specific commitment for change reflecting public aspirations and a consensus in the national interest, an electoral alliance may be considered."  He added, "In any case, NCP will contest the polls under its own name and symbol." Emphasizing the need to dismantle Awami League's financial network, Sarjis said, "One of the key reasons behind the survival of fascist structures in Bangladesh is their economic supply chain." "Unless action is taken against the institutions and individuals financing them, real change will not be possible. Fascism cannot be eradicated without cutting off the money flow," he said. Sarjis further said that the sources of income of such entities must be seized or regulated to ensure accountability, otherwise, "the oppressive structure will remain intact." Chaired by NCP Mymensingh District Chief Coordinator Advocate Javed Rasin, it was also addressed by Divisional Organizational Secretary Ashikin Alam, Central Organizer (North) Pritom Sohag and Central Member Fahim Rahman Khan Pathan...rewrite the news

BB buys US$38m through dollar auction
  DHAKA, Oct 14, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Bank (BB) today purchased US$38  million from six commercial banks through multiple auction methods as part of  its ongoing strategy to curb the depreciation of the US dollar against the  Taka and revitalise the remittance and export sectors. The central bank set a cut-off rate of Taka 121.80 for these dollar  purchases, according to the central bank data. Bangladesh Bank has bought a total of $2,126 million from commercial banks  till now of the fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26).  Talking to BSS, a senior official of the central bank said BB has intervened  in the market by purchasing US dollars from commercial banks through an  auction aiming to keep the exchange rate of the BDT against the greenback  stable. He also said the central bank will sell the US dollar to banks through  similar auctions if the exchange rate of the greenback increases against the  local currency. "We may consider intervening in the market whenever necessary for ensuring  the exchange rate of the US dollar against the local currency remaining  stable," the official added.

‘Weight and measurement issues a global challenge’
CHATTOGRAM, Oct 14, 2025 (BSS) - Chattogram Divisional Commissioner Dr. Md. Ziauddin today said that problems related to weights and measurements are not unique to Bangladesh but are a global challenge that affects business, health, and the environment. He made the remarks while addressing a discussion meeting as the chief guest, organized by the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) at its Chattogram Divisional Office on the occasion of World Standards Day. This year's theme for World Standards Day was "Standards for building a sustainable and developed world through coordinated efforts." Dr. Ziauddin stressed the importance of maintaining uniformity in the use of the metric system across the country to prevent confusion and fraud in trade. "Honest businesses face difficulties when others resort to non-standard practices for unfair gain," he said. He lauded BSTI's vital role in promoting fair trade practices and resolving many issues related to weights and measurements.  However, he noted that BSTI alone cannot address all challenges, calling for collective awareness and responsibility from citizens. "Each person must ensure they neither shortchange others nor accept incorrect quantities of goods," he added. Engineer Md. Golam Rabbani, Head and Deputy Director of BSTI Chattogram Office, presided over the event. Dr. Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Chattogram University of Engineering and Technology (CUET), presented the keynote paper. Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Md. Sharif Uddin and Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) General Secretary Kazi Iqbal Bahar Chhaberi also spoke as special guests.

Madagascar military unit seizes power after president impeached
Madagascar military unit seizes power after president impeached
ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar, Oct 14, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - An elite military unit told AFP Tuesday it had taken power in Madagascar after the national assembly voted to impeach President Andry Rajoelina for desertion of duty. The 51-year-old president had refused growing demands to step down, going into hiding after weeks of anti-government street demonstrations in the island nation. "We have taken power," Colonel Michael Randrianirina, head of the CAPSAT military unit, told AFP after reading out a statement at a government building in the capital. The unit will set up a committee composed of officers from the army, gendarmerie and national police, he said. CAPSAT played a major role in the 2009 coup that first brought Rajoelina to power. "Perhaps in time it will include senior civilian advisers. It is this committee that will carry out the work of the presidency," Randrianirina said in his statement. "At the same time, after a few days, we will set up a civilian government," he said. The announcement came minutes after the lower house of parliament voted to impeach Rajoelina in a session dismissed by the presidency as "devoid of any legal basis". Just hours earlier, Rajoelina had dissolved the national assembly by decree to block the session. The impeachment passed with 130 votes in favour -- well above the two-thirds constitutional threshold required in the 163-member chamber. The High Constitutional Court has to validate the vote. Rajoelina, a former mayor of the capital Antananarivo, said late Monday he was sheltering in a "safe space" after attempts on his life, without revealing his location. The protests began on September 25 and reached a pivotal point at the weekend when mutinous soldiers and security forces, including CAPSAT, joined the demonstrators and called for the president and other government ministers to step down.
