NCP leader Tasnim asks Sarjis to disclose financing of rallies with 100 cars
“I hope that you will consider the matter sincerely and present an acceptable and clear explanation before the people," Tasnim told Sarjis in an open letter
National Citizen Party (NCP) Senior Joint Member Secretary Dr Tasnim Jara has asked Sarjis Alam, chief organiser (North) of the party, to disclose how his rallies with over 100 cars were financed and organised in Panchagarh.
Sarjis had flown yesterday to Panchagarh, his home district, via Saidpur and held street rallies in various upazilas of the border district with the vehicles.
Videos of the rallies – with the large motorcade – prompted many questions.
Tasnim, in an open letter to Sarjis, published on her Facebook page today (25 March), said, "I am writing this letter as a political worker of our party, out of concern for the party's policy stance and transparency. Your recent entry into your own district with a large fleet of over a hundred vehicles has logically raised some questions in the minds of the people.

"You had said publicly a few days ago, 'I actually have no money at the moment. I am borrowing money from people. This is the reality. I don't even have a wallet in my pocket.'"
"In that context, it is natural for people to have questions about how such a big event was possible – how it was financed and managed," Tasim said.
The NCP leader emphasised that it is their responsibility to give clear and reliable answers to these questions from the perspective of the party's promise to build a new political culture based on transparency, honesty and accountability.
"I hope that you will consider the matter sincerely and present an acceptable and clear explanation before the people. I believe that this will further strengthen the image of the party among the people," Tasnim concluded.
