Savar: Leaders of the newly launched National Citizen Party (NCP) yesterday paid tribute to the martyrs by placing wreaths at the National Martyrs Mausoleum in Savar, pledging to rebuild Bangladesh with the spirit of the July uprising.
Party Convener Nahid Islam and Member Secretary Aktar Hossain led the delegation as they honored the martyrs and observed a one-minute silence at the mausoleum.
Speaking to the media, Nahid, a former adviser to the interim government, said, “We will rebuild Bang-ladesh with the July spirit. Our independence was achieved through the Liberation War, but true sover-eignty has remained under threat due to fascism. Now, the youth must take charge and reshape the state.”
He emphasized the need for a new democratic republic, stating that the country’s institutions had col-lapsed time and again. “A democratic constitution must be established to ensure the people’s rights,” he added.
Nahid also urged the nation to remain vigilant, calling for justice over the events of the July uprising. “We must prosecute those responsible and say goodbye to fascism once and for all,” he said.
Later, the NCP leaders visited Rayer Bazar in Dhaka to pay homage to the martyrs of the July uprising.
A large number of party leaders and activists gathered at both venues to express their commitment to the movement and the ideals of a new Bangladesh.
