Amar Bangladesh (AB) Party Chairman Mojibur Rahman Monju has urged all parties to resolve disagreements through dialogue instead of demanding resignations, saying that the National Citizen Party (NCP), a student-led political platform, has been involved in unnecessary disputes that have undermined its image and credibility.
He made the comments at an emergency press conference held on Friday afternoon at the party's central office in Bijoynagar, Dhaka, amid growing concerns over the reported interest in resignation by the interim government's Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus.
Monju said that the advisers to the interim government had failed to take initiatives to unify the student community, who played a leading role in the recent mass uprising.
“Some advisers’ activities have damaged solidarity among political parties and disrupted efforts toward national unity,” he added.
Commenting on NCP’s recent actions, Monju said: “The newly formed NCP has unnecessarily embroiled itself in conflicts over certain issues, raising questions about its public image and acceptability.”
Regarding the speculated resignation of Dr Yunus, Monju said such a development would deepen the uncertainty and political crisis in the country.
“Instead of resignation, all parties should come to a negotiated settlement through discussions,” he said.
Monju said the party had long warned about the growing disconnect between the government and various political actors.
“We were concerned that if unresolved, the situation would only worsen,” he added, noting a lack of control by the government over the administration and other key sectors.
“Over the past few days, conflicting statements from BNP and NCP, demands for resignation of six advisers, the Jamuna blockade, and widespread reports in the media—including a controversial statement attributed to the army chief—have created a thick cloud of confusion,” he said.
“It is now evident that BNP and NCP’s relationship with the government has deteriorated, and the message from the military suggests coordination issues between the armed forces and the government.”
He criticized major political parties for shifting their positions on reform, justice, elections, and banning Awami League activities, saying: “Their power struggles have crippled the administration and affected law and order.”
Monju also blamed the absence of a clear election roadmap for intensifying suspicions that the government intends to stay in power indefinitely.
“Despite repeated calls, no initiative was taken to sit down and resolve misunderstandings,” he said.
Referring to the army chief’s recent speech, Monju noted that the party had only learned of it through social and mainstream media, not from any official source.
“It would have been better if the statement was officially confirmed by ISPR or another government agency,” he added.
He also expressed concern over news reports citing NCP chief Nahid Islam, which claimed Dr Yunus had expressed interest in resigning.
“People across the country are deeply worried. We haven’t heard any clear statement from the government yet,” Monju said.
He added: “We believe this complex situation is the result of collective missteps and discomforting behaviour by all parties involved. The resignation of the chief adviser is not a solution—it would only lead to grave uncertainty.”
