Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has said the July charter and the July declaration must be issued by August 5 and that the promises of justice, reform, and a new constitution must be ensured.
"Many claim that we are trying to delay the election. Without this mass uprising, you would not even have dreamt of an election. If we had not taken the quota reform movement towards a mass uprising, towards a change in government, you would have had to wait another four years under Sheikh Hasina," Nahid said during a street rally at Fouzderi intersection in Jamalpur town on Monday, following the party's “Build the Nation July March.”
Nahid further said: "We want elections, we want voting rights, and we want to ensure the right to free expression.
