Fazlul Karim, sports secretary and former organizing secretary of Habiganj District National Citizen Party (NCP), resigned from the party, calling Sarjis Alam a “hypocrite fraud”.
On Monday around 10 pm, he announced his resignation in an eight-minute video message that circulated on social media.
In the video message, Fazlul raised various allegations against the party while showing a handwritten paper kept on a table and various messages on a mobile phone. Mentioning Sarjis as a “hypocrite fraud” during this time, he said, “Though he speaks one thing, there is no reflection of it in his actions. The emotions and expectations of activists are being played with.
“People were shown a bottle of honey with talks of a new party and new hopes. But inside that bottle, old wine has been poured. The nation has now understood that this is not any new politics; rather, old politics has returned in a new package.”
Fazlul added that he had joined the NCP believing in and expecting change. He had thought there would be no place for extortion, brokerage, and fraud in this party. However, in reality, he did not find any alignment between his expectations and the party’s activities. Therefore, he no longer wishes to remain associated with such politics.
In the video message, he alleged the inclusion of drug dealers, corrupt individuals, and dishonest persons in district- and upazila-level committees. In addition, raising allegations of arbitrariness in committee formation against central leader Nahid Uddin Tarek, he said committees are being formed based on individual likes and dislikes, where qualification and organizational efficiency are not given due importance.
During this time, he also held up several WhatsApp messages on his mobile phone before the camera. He claimed these as evidence of his allegations.
Announcing his resignation toward the end of the video, Fazlul said, “From today, I do not hold any post or designation in the NCP. I voluntarily resigned from the party.”
However, statements from the central leaders regarding the allegations raised by Fazlul could not be obtained.
