Convener of Jatiya Nagorik Party Nahid Islam on Friday said one of their new political party’s primary goals is to formulate a new constitution through a ‘constituent assembly’ election to establish the ‘second republic’ in Bangladesh.
‘We must eliminate all possibilities of reestablishing constitutional dictatorship by formulating a new democratic constitution. One of our primary goals is to formulate a new constitution through the election of a constituent assembly to establish our second republic,’ he said at the launch event of the new party.
Nahid was addressing the event, immediately after the announcement of a partial central committee of the new party at Manik Miah Avenue in the capital on Friday evening.
He said Jatiya Nagorik Party will be a democratic, egalitarian and people-representing political party.
‘We believe that the July 2024 student-people uprising has initiated the struggle to establish our second republic,’ the NCP chief said.
He said Bangladesh can never be divided anymore. ‘There will be no room for pro-India or pro-Pakistan politics in Bangladesh. We all will build politics and the state unitedly, keeping Bangladesh and the interests of its people in mind,’ Nahid added.
