‘We are not afraid’, NCP leader Akhtar says after harassment in NYThe people of Bangladesh showed the highest level of courage against Awami League and even sacrificed their lives, said National Citizen Party (NCP) Member Secretary Akhtar Hossen, claiming that they have a target of Awami League. At one point, eggs were thrown at Akhter Hossen. Speaking to reporters later at a hotel in New York, Akhter said Awami League activists were resorting to the same intimidation tactics abroad that they practised in Bangladesh. We have seen how women – who were on the front during the movement and now getting involved in politics – were targeted and undermined by the Awami League in Bangladesh. Many people are joining with us, and people rejected the Awami League,” she said.
