National Citizen Party senior joint member secretary Tasnim Jara on Friday said that the people had turned away from the decade-old political system dominated by money and muscle power.
鈥楾he July mass uprising was not merely about changing political faces, rather it was about dismantling the whole fascist system that has long controlled the country,鈥� she said.
She made the remarks while addressing a session at the two-day 鈥楤engal Delta Conference 2025鈥� held at a Dhaka hotel.
鈥業t was proved during the July Uprising that the people of Bangladesh do not want to see a political system dominated by money and muscle power,鈥� Tasmin said.
The session titled 鈥楻eform and reality: Bangladesh鈥檚 changing political landscape鈥� was moderated by Professor Asif Shahan of the department of development studies at University of Dhaka.
David Jackman, development studies lecturer at the University of Oxford, and Mahdi Amin, adviser to the acting chairman of Bangladesh Nationalist Party Tarique Rahman, took part in the discussion.
At the outset of the discussion, Jackman pointed out that financial influence and muscle power were dominant forces in Bangladesh鈥檚 political arena.
He noted that the misuse of funds, particularly during election campaigns, had led to an increase in extortion and abuse of power.
The conference was organised by the Dacca Institute of Research and Analytics.
