National Citizen Party (NCP) convenor Nahid Islam has alleged that BNP has become the new guardians of “Mujibism” and has taken a stance in favour of corruption and extortion.
“They are protecting the 1972 Mujibist Constitution and standing in support of corrupt extortionists. The BNP has positioned itself as a protector of these forces, sowing division across the country,” he said.
The NCP leader made these remarks while speaking at a rally held in Patuakhali on Monday.
“We will not compromise or unite with anyone who stands against the July-August uprising,” he warned.
“As we launched our marches across districts, waves of people joined like a tidal surge. Just as the people were responding with overwhelming enthusiasm, new conspiracies against us began to surface. Even though Sheikh Hasina’s regime has fallen through a public uprising, plots against us continue,” he said.
“From social media to the bureaucratic structure of the military and the DGFI, the country’s establishment is still conspiring against the uprising,” he added.
While the fascistic Hasina regime has been overthrown, a new party has emerged to carry the torch of corruption, said Nahid, adding: “We are facing obstacles while trying to change the mafia corrupt system.”
Hasnat Abdullah, chief organiser of the southern region of the NCP, said, “This August will mark the beginning of a new chapter: A Bangladesh free from tyranny.”
NCP held the rally to press for justice, reforms, national reconstruction, and implementation of the July Charter and the establishment of a fair electoral process.
Zahirul Islam Musa, district coordinator of NCP in Patuakhali, presided over the rally.
The party brought out a procession from in front of the Circuit House and proceeded through the New Market intersection and various key points in the district.
Sarjis Alam, chief organiser of NCP for the northern region, Dr Tasnim Zarah, and a number of central leaders were also present at the rally.
