Fundamental reforms required for a fair election and justice for political killings will not be compromised, said Sarjis Alam, chief organizer of the National Citizen Party (NCP) for the northern region, on Monday.

“Systemic reforms of a country are not possible in two or four years. But the basic reforms needed for transparent elections before the upcoming election will not be compromised,” he said.

Sarjis stressed that those who shed blood to establish a new Bangladesh must get justice. “We will not compromise on the trial of those murderers. There will be no concession regarding the July Charter either,” he added.

He accused the Awami League of exploiting the youth. “We have seen Awami League using the young generation in drug syndicates, extortion, and attacking innocent people,” Sarjis said.

He declared that apart from Awami League and its affiliated organisations, no one else is the NCP's rival. “We consider others as partners and want to compete for public service. But if anyone is involved in similar conspiracies as before, we will resist them,” Sarjis warned.

He further said, “The people's expectations after the mass uprising are yet to be fulfilled. That’s why NCP had to emerge as a political party.”

Sarjis made these remarks while addressing the coordination meeting of the district unit of Jatiya Juboshakti at the Panchagarh Chamber Convention Hall on Monday evening.

Later, Sarjis and Advocate Tarikul Islam held an open discussion and gave directions to the party leaders.
