National Citizens Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam on Saturday demanded justice for the killings during the July-August uprising before any national election is held.

Addressing a rally organised by the party’s Bogura district unit at Satmatha Zero Point, Nahid said over 15 people were killed and more than 700 injured during the uprising.

“For the last 17 years, Bogura has been a victim of the fascist government’s political discrimination. People from Bogura were denied jobs just for their identity. Hundreds of false and fabricated cases were filed against them,” he said.

Earlier in the day, NCP leaders exchanged views with the families of those killed in the July movement at Bogura Tourism Motel.

Following the meeting, Nahid Islam led a four-kilometre-long march from Koloni area to Satmatha, with a large number of students and locals participating in it.

Among others, NCP Central Member-Secretary Akhter Hossain, Chief Organiser (Southern Region) Hasnat Abdullah, Chief Organiser (Northern Region) Sarjis Alam, central leaders Nasir Uddin Patwary, and Dr Tasnim Jara addressed the rally.​

National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam said the NCP will unveil its manifesto on August 3 at the Central Shaheed Minar.

"We are gathering at the Shaheed Minar on August 3 with the July manifesto, a declaration for the people, land, and map of Bangladesh... Just as we declared the fall of the fascist system with a one-point demand last year, this time we will declare the beginning of a new Bangladesh," he said.

Addressing a rally today at 1:00pm at the Satmatha Mukto Moncho in Bogura town, Nahid went on to say, "July is not a matter of emotion. July will be our political manifesto. Our political destination. The future of Bangladesh will be guided by this July. Those who don't want to include July, its martyrs, its injured in the constitution, are the new guardians of Mujibism."

Central NCP leaders held a rally in Bogura today as part of their month-long "July March to Build the Nation" rally, taking place across all districts of the country throughout July.

"After the mass uprising, Bangladesh will not be run at the behest of India, Pakistan, America, or China," the NCP leader said, adding that "the people of Bangladesh will decide Bangladesh's elections, Bangladesh's politics, and everything about Bangladesh."

Nahid also said, "After the mass uprising, we said we need a new Bangladesh, a new system, new laws and regulations. We will not participate in your old games. We will not participate in your politics of extortion, your politics of terror."

Nahid assered that "the July Declaration will certainly be included in the national constitution."

"After the 2024 mass uprising, we demand to ensure a neutral administration, neutral police, and a neutral judiciary. If anyone acts like a partisan administration in the old ways, their fate will be like that of the fascists and collaborators of Mujibism," Nahid warned.

"What was the fate of those who stole votes, who were election commissioners in the 2018 elections? If you forget the power of students and the public within one year of this mass uprising, then you are mistaken," Nahid added.

Nahid commented that Bogura has been a victim of political discrimination over the past 16-17 years.

"No one was given a job if they heard the name Bogura; they were not given a place anywhere. Bogura residents were indiscriminately given false and fabricated cases," Nahid said.

"After the mass uprising, we do not want any special privileges. We do not want any discrimination. We want everyone to have equal opportunities according to their merit and qualifications. We want areas that are backward to receive development commensurate with their needs," he added.

Before the rally, central leaders met families of July martyrs at the Bogura Porjoton Corporation this morning.​

NCP held a street rally at Saheb Bazar Zero Point in Rajshahi city around 8:15 pm on 6 July 2025 Prothom Alo

National Citizen’s Party convener Nahid Islam has said they now focus on rebuilding Bangladesh after successfully defeating fascism on 5 August last year.

“On 5 August, our goal was the fall of fascism. This time, our goal is the reconstruction of Bangladesh. On 5 August, our target was Gonobhaban (Prime Minister’s residence), now our target is the National Parliament. We have conquered Gonobhaban; now we will conquer the National Parliament too. The upcoming election will witness the victory celebrations of the youth,” Nahid Islam said at a street rally held at Saheb Bazar Zero Point in Rajshahi city around 8:15 pm today, Sunday.

He further said for that to realise they want to see meaningful reform and trial of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“We want to see the trial of the killer Hasina. We want to see reforms. We want to see a new constitution. This generation promises the people of Bangladesh a new democratic constitution,” he added.

Earlier, at around 6:00 pm, the NCP began its July march from the city’s Railgate area. The procession passed through New Market, Alkar Mor, Gonokpara, Saheb Bazar, Alupatti, and concluded at the Saheb Bazar Zero Point with the street rally.

Addressing the rally, Nahid said, “We took to the streets with many dreams. My brother Abu Sayeed took the police bullets on his chest. The brothers of Rajshahi became martyrs with many dreams. Our dream was not just the fall of Sheikh Hasina. It was to rebuild Bangladesh through reforms.”

He also lamented that various conspiracies have blocked the path to reform since 5 August.

“We admit that we made mistakes. We had limitations. But today, we pledge we will not repeat those mistakes. We will not give any more chances. We must end autocracy and dynastic politics. We will build a new politics and a new system based on merit and competence.”

Nahid Islam said, “Those who say July is merely an emotional issue, those who say there is no need to give July any constitutional basis, we must show them that on 3 August, we will unite again against the Mujibist constitution. Those who do not want to give July a place in the constitution or the legal framework want to pave the way for the return of Mujibism. They have declared themselves the new guardians of Mujibism. We must build resistance against the guardians of Mujibism.”

The event, conducted by the party’s chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwari, was addressed among others by the party’s member secretary Akhtar Hosen, senior joint member secretary Tasnim Jara, chief organiser for the northern region Sarjis Alam, chief organiser for the southern region Hasnat Abdullah, organiser for the northern region Imran Imon, and chief coordinator of Rajshahi city Md Mobasher Ali.

At the end of the rally, the party inaugurated its city office in the Gonokpara area.​

NCP convener Nahid Islam, addressing a street rally at Saheb Bazar zero point in Rajshahi city Sunday evening, also said that the July Proclamation must be incorporated into the new constitution.

NCP organised the street rally on the fifth day of the party’s countrywide programmes to mark the first anniversary of the uprising that ousted the Awami League regime on August 5, 2024.

‘Those who refuse to incorporate the July Proclamation into the new constitution or bringing it in a legal framework, they are paving the way for a return to Mujibism and have declared themselves guardians of that ideology. We must build resistance against those who position themselves as protectors of Mujibism,’ Nahid added.

Reiterating the party’s demands, Nahid said that they would build a new political order and a new system of governance based on merit and qualification.

Nahid once again reiterated that the national election must be held after the trial of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and the leaders and activists of the fascist Awami League for committing massacre during the July-August uprising and fundamental reforms in various sectors.

‘We want to see the trial of mass-murderer Hasina. We demand reforms, and we want to see a new constitution,’ NCP convener Nahid Islam said while addressing a street rally in Rajshahi city Sunday evening.

Commemorating mass leader Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani’s historic massive long march from Rajshahi towards India’s Farakka Barrage, demanding its demolition, Nahid said that they would begin a massive long march from Rajshahi if they had to reclaim their rightful share of river water and protect their borders.

Among others, NCP member secretary Akhter Hossain, chief organiser for North Sarjis Alam, chief organiser for South Hasnat Abdullah, chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, and senior joint member secretary Tasnim Jara also spoke.​

National Citizen Party (NCP) organised a "July Podojatra and Pothosobha" in Rajshahi this evening, aiming to renew its call for democratic reforms and decentralisation of power.

The event began around 6:00pm from Rajshahi Railgate in the city, with participation from different upazila units of the NCP.

Marching through the city streets, the procession concluded with a public gathering at Zero Point.

Addressing a crowd, NCP Convener Nahid Islam said, "This generation promises a new democratic constitution for Bangladesh. One that will ensure the rights of its people and end autocracy."

Referring to the events of August 5, Nahid said, "We had dreamt of rebuilding Bangladesh through reforms. But after August 5, different forces have blocked that path. Those who stand in the way of reform will never be forgiven by the people."

He also added, "Previously, our goal was the fall of fascism. Now, it is the reconstruction of Bangladesh. Before the election, reforms must be addressed, justice must be served. We want to see the trial of killer Hasina."

Paying tribute to historic movement, Nahid recalled Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani's Farakka Long March from Rajshahi, saying, "If we have to reclaim our share of rivers and protect our borders, we will launch another long march from Rajshahi."

"Development doesn't mean only Dhaka's development. We need decentralisation of power and resources. Rajshahi must have employment, education, healthcare, and industrial growth. That's why we held the uprising," said Nahid.

The NCP is observing a month-long nationwide programme titled "Desh Gorte July Podojatra (July march to build the nation)", which will take place across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.

Other speakers at the gathering included NCP Senior Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, Chief Organiser (northern region) Sarjis Alam, Chief Organiser (southern region) Hasnat Abdullah, Member Secretary Akhter Hossen and Senior Joint Secretary Tasnim Jara.

The programme ended with a call to gather again at the Central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka on August 3 and a pledge to fulfill the "July Declaration".​

National Citizen Party convener Nahid Islam on Monday called upon all sections of society to unite to demand justice for the July mass killing, fundamental state reforms, and the adoption of a new constitution.

Addressing several rallies in Natore and Sirajganj, he said that they could not proceed to elections until justice was delivered for the July killings and enforced disappearances.

The aspirations behind the mass uprising -- driven by students and the public -- were for a corruption-free and impartial Bangladesh, but after August 5, many parties had distanced themselves from these demands, Nahid resented.Bangladesh-themed souvenirs

As part of the party’s ongoing month-long march programmes to mark the first anniversary of the July uprising that ousted the Awami League regime on 5 August 2024, the NCP convener alleged that attempts had been made to disrupt their events, noting that their banners were torn and obstructive tactics employed in Natore and Sirajganj.

He said that those who had faced bullets and narrowly escaped death would not be intimidated, warning that those who sought to revive a culture of fear were gravely mistaken and foolish.

Calling for fundamental reforms, Nahid stressed the urgent need for a July declaration and constitutional recognition of the people’s uprising.

‘The martyrs who participated in the uprising deserve state recognition and honour,’ he said.

He called for a new constitution to replace the existing Awami League-era constitution, which he criticised for failing to protect the rights of the people over the past 50 years and for dividing society and the state.

Nahid said that the NCP would announce its manifesto on August 3 at the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital, which would include the economic, social, and cultural liberation of all people and outline a plan for rebuilding a new Bangladesh.Bangladesh-themed souvenirs

As part of its nationwide programme from July 1 to August 5 marking the first anniversary of the uprising, the NCP launched its march on July 1 in Rangpur with prayers for uprising martyr Abu Sayed.

The party plans to continue marches across all districts until July 30, calling for the prosecution of the Awami League and its leaders over the massacres during the mass uprising.

They are also demanding reforms and the adoption of a new constitution aimed at establishing a discrimination-free Bangladesh.​
