Trial of fascists, reforms in various sectors, and a new constitution are essential for rebuilding Bangladesh, said National Citizen Party convener Nahid Islam in Magura on Thursday.

At a rally in Magura as part of the party’s current programme marking the first anniversary of the July uprising, Nahid said, ‘We have to rebuild the country. The struggle to rebuild Bangladesh has begun after the July uprising.’


‘Trial of those people involved with the fascist regime, fundamental reforms, and a new constitution are essential to rebuild Bangladesh,’ said Nahid at the Vaina More rally in the district town on the 10th day of the party’s countrywide rally.

Nahid was also a former central leader of Students Against Discrimination that spearheaded the July uprising to oust the Awami League regime on August 5, 2024.

He stated that there existed some crises even after the uprising, adding that the work on a new constitution and a July Charter to ensure fundamental reforms was not progressing.

The NCP leader called on people to become aware of those crises and also to be vocal against corruption and extortion.

The NCP began its national-level march on July 1 from Rangpur by offering prayers for uprising martyr Abu Sayed as part of its July 1- August 5 countrywide programme to mark the first anniversary of the uprising.

A group of student and youth leaders who led the uprising formed the NCP on February 28.

While addressing the rally in Magura, Nahid also reasserted the party’s demand for a July charter and a July declaration.

‘One year of the July uprising will be completed on August 5. We want the July charter and the July declaration by August 3,’ said Nahid, adding that the NCP, along with students and people, will take to the streets if the government together with the political parties fails to produce the July declaration by that time.

NCP leaders and activists, including the party’s chief organiser for North Sarjis Alam, chief organiser for South Hasnat Abdullah, chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, senior joint convener Samanta Sharmeen, senior joint member secretary Tasnim Jara and senior joint convener Ariful Islam Adeeb, among others, participated in the marches and rallies in Magura and Narail districts.

The NCP is scheduled to hold marches in all districts till July 30, demanding trial of the Awami League and its leaders for the massacres during the mass uprising, reforms in various sectors, and a new constitution aiming at building a discrimination-free Bangladesh.

The party leaders and activists will hold marches and rallies in Jashore and Satkhira districts on Friday.
