National Citizen Party (NCP) chief organiser for the southern region and Comilla-4 constituency MP Hasnat Abdullah on Sunday accused Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed of admitting to "hypocrisy" over elections and Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman of making repeated "false statements" about the judiciary during a parliamentary session.

Speaking at an NCP-organised national convention on energy, economy, human rights, reform and referendum at Kakrail in the capital, Hasnat said the home minister had openly conceded in parliament that his party had accepted all decisions taken by the interim government solely to secure electoral participation, commitments they now have no intention of honouring. "This is nothing but hypocrisy toward the people of this country."

Turning to police reform, Hasnat charged that the government has no genuine interest in restructuring the Police Commission, adding that the force continues to be used as a political instrument, a pattern he said has persisted for 17 years.

He noted that the minister has concentrated all authority over transfers and promotions within the police force in his own hands. "Police officers are human beings too. We want their security ensured. Reform is necessary for that, yet the government is paying no heed."

On judicial reform, Hasnat accused the law minister of misleading parliament. While the minister claimed that judicial postings and promotions fall outside his jurisdiction, Hasnat said the reality on the ground tells a different story. "On paper it may not be under the law minister, but in practice, judicial appointments and promotions flow directly from the minister's hands."

Drawing a pointed parallel with the ousted Awami League government, Hasnat warned that the current administration is increasingly bent on concentrating power. "Just as Sheikh Hasina kept all authority centralised, this government too wants everything in its own hands. But they are forgetting that even Hasina, at the height of her power, could not survive."

He also claimed that voters who backed the BNP now feel deceived, saying the government has already begun betraying public trust and is heading down the path of fascism.

Hasnat concluded by calling on supporters to reorganise and vowed that all such attempts would be collectively resisted.
