National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam on Wednesday urged political parties to reach a political consensus so that there would be no room for “Mujibbadi” politics in the election and politics of future Bangladesh.
“On 5 August 2024, the people of Bangladesh defeated the force and actually ousted Mujibbad and the fascist Awami League. So, there should be no place for Mujibbadi politics in the future politics and Bangladesh elections,” he said.
Since a trial process is underway in this regard, even this question (return of Awami League to Bangladesh politics) should not come before the trial, he said.
Nahid made the call while addressing an Iftar Party at Dhaka Ladies Club, which was hosted by BNP in honour of the leaders of different political parties.
BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and leaders of different parties spoke at the event.
Talking about an inclusive election, the NCP chief said he thinks there are political parties to make it inclusive by representing the people of Bangladesh. “We believe that we bear the spirit of the struggle and the mass uprising that took place against Mujibbad (Mujibism),” he said.
Nahid hoped that a political unity would be there in the current political situation.
Nayeb-e-Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dr Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher said he on behalf of his party requested all to forge a national unity on four points — the independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh, a sustainable democracy, a fair election and a corruption-free Bangladesh.
“I think national unity will still be the most powerful tool in building the future of Bangladesh to create a beautiful and prosperous Bangladesh,” he said.
