National Citizens Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam has warned that no new godfather will be allowed to emerge in Bangladesh.

He made the warning while addressing a street rally at Shaheed Daulat Maidan on Public Library premises after the July March in the district town.

The NCP leader said during the previous government's tenure, Cox's Bazar had become a sanctuary for terrorists and drug abuse. Just as Narayanganj had a godfather, Cox's Bazar also had a godfather. 

"Sheikh Hasina was a godfather and under her, there were small godfathers all over Bangladesh. We have put an end to that godfather system. We will not allow a new godfather to emerge again,” he said.

About July Charter, the NCP convener said they demanded that the government declare the July Charter by July. 

 "The tyrannical Awami League has looted and evicted Cox's Bazar in the name of tourism. We want to develop an environmental friendly tourism industry where the rights and privileges of the people of must be ensured," he said.

Nahid urged the interim government and the world community to resolve the Rohingya issue quickly by making arrangements for safe and dignified return of Rohingyas to their homeland Myanmar.
