NCP ready to ally with pro-reform forces: Hasnat 
NARAYANGANJ, Nov 11, 2025 (BSS) - National Citizen Party (NCP) Chief Organizer for Southern Region Hasnat Abdullah today said his party may form alliance with forces that support reforms, but it will not ally with those obstructing the country’s reform process. “We are open to joining forces with groups supporting reforms, resisting Indian domination, and promoting communal harmony,” he told journalists after inaugurating the NCP district office in Chashar of Narayanganj this noon. Hasnat Abdullah said, “NCP convener Nahid Islam has clearly stated that we can ally with anyone who takes a pro-reform stance. However, forming any electoral alliance with those obstructing the reform process is not possible.” NCP’s full candidate list for the national election will be announced by the third week of this month, with Nahid Islam previously indicating November 15 as a key date, he added. Commenting on reforms, Hasnat said, “We want to return to a democratic system through elections. We welcome every anti-fascist party and opinion. But if elections are manipulated—if districts are arbitrarily divided at midnight, or police are deployed to control polling, turning elections into an administrative tool—then people’s empowerment will not be ensured. Our goal is genuine empowerment of the public.” Regarding Awami League, he said, “Awami League has become irrelevant in Bangladesh. We must focus on the future. We have seen talk shows where the party’s lobbyists, hired intellectuals, and beneficiaries tried to legitimize it. But the events of the past two days show that this party was never truly a party of the people.” “Those now trying to legitimize the party are essentially legitimizing acts of violence,” he added. Hasnat Abdullah also criticized Narayanganj’s local politics, saying, “The city’s rich political heritage has been polluted by the so-called ‘godfather’ politics. NCP will work to preserve this legacy and uphold people’s rights.” Chaired by NCP central Joint Secretary Abdullah Al Amin, it was also addressed by central organizer Shawkat Ali, Central Member Ahmedur Rahman Tanu, and Senior Joint Convener of Jatiya Jubo Shakti Tuhin Khan.

Govt working sincerely to ensure consumers rights: Bashir 
DHAKA, Nov 11, 2025 (BSS) - Commerce Adviser Sk Bashir Uddin today stated that the core objective of the ministry is to work to ensure consumers rights in the country.     “Establishing consumer rights in the market will necessitate taking all necessary steps, regardless of whether those steps are perceived to be for or against any particular party. The ministry's central task is the simplification of local and international trade,” he said while speaking at a view exchange meeting with edible oil Delivery Order (DO) traders held at the Ministry of Commerce conference room in the city, said a press release. Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman, Director General of the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection Faruk Ahmed, Chairman of the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) Brigadier General Mohammad Faisal Azad and leaders representing the edible oil DO traders, among others, were present at the meeting.  Addressing the DO traders, Bashir acknowledged their significant contribution to edible oil supply and requested their advice and cooperation to keep the market stable.  He reminded the attendees that he, his ministry, and the traders are ultimately consumers, reinforcing the ministry’s commitment to consumer welfare. The Commerce Adviser criticized the conventional approach used to control the price of edible oil, which typically involves conducting raids on medium or retail sales centers.  He argued that these types of operations are not very successful. Instead, the Adviser laid out a strategy to bring the entire supply chain under the ministry’s purview, stating that activities must encompass everyone from the production or import level, extending to DO traders, wholesalers, and retailers. He suggested that either mill owners or the DO traders, or both, may be involved in destabilizing the oil market.  Bashiruddin dismissed the notion that instability is caused by a small shopkeeper hiding 500 bottles of oil under a cot.  He referred to publicized oil recoveries shown on television as drama, noting that while they generate public praise, nothing useful is done.  The Adviser affirmed the ministry’s dedication to identifying the real culprits and vowed not to allow anyone to create anarchy in the edible oil market. During the meeting, edible oil DO traders raised complaints that they were not receiving products from the mill owners on time and demanded a solution to this issue.
