Sarjis Alam, the chief organizer for the northern region of the National Citizens Party, emphasized the importance of internal unity over rivalry during an iftar gathering organized by the Panchagarh Municipality unit of the BNP. Speaking at the event held on Saturday, he stated that when individuals or factions within a political landscape choose to become adversaries rather than healthy competitors, the damage is not only internal but also affects the broader interests of regions like Panchagarh.

He remarked that Panchagarh remains one of the underdeveloped districts in the country, and progress will only come through collective effort. He urged everyone present to work together, setting aside differences, to uplift the district and bring meaningful change for its people.

The iftar gathering took place at the open stage of the Panchagarh Government Auditorium premises and was presided over by Touhidul Islam, convener of the municipal BNP. The event brought together various political figures and representatives from different parties.

Forhad Hossain Azad, central executive committee member and secretary for rural development affairs of the BNP, as well as the member secretary of the Panchagarh District BNP, was present as the chief guest.

The event also featured speeches from other political leaders, including Zaherul Islam Kachchu, the convener of the district BNP; Professor Iqbal Hossain, district Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami; and Shamsuzzaman Nayan, a representative of JAGPA. Each speaker echoed sentiments of unity and cooperation, calling for mutual respect and understanding across party lines to ensure the social and economic advancement of the Panchagarh region.
