RANGPUR, Mar 11, 2026 (BSS) - National Citizens Party (NCP) convener and opposition chief whip Md Nahid Islam MP today said, "The Parliament will sit tomorrow. The whole country is awaiting the session. We will try to implement the demands for reforms, which are applicable to everyone."

He made the remarks while speaking as the chief guest at the Rangpur divisional Iftar and Doa Mahfil of the NCP at Shaheed Abu Sayeed Stadium in Rangpur city this afternoon.

They party's Member Secretary Akhter Hossain MP delivered the keynote speech with Rangpur divisional organising secretary Dr Atiqur Rahman Mojahid MP in the chair.

NCP northern chief organiser Md Sarjis Alam and chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary spoke as special guests.

Jatiya Juba Shakti President Tariqul Islam, NCP central leader Sadia Farzana Dina and party leaders at various levels were also present.

Nahid Islam said, "We hope the ruling party will agree to take the oath to reform the constitution. We are going to Parliament to fulfill our responsibility to make the country free from corruption, loan defaulters, extortionists and terrorism."

"In the 13th Jatiya Sangsad Election and the Referendum, people voted 'yes' regardless of party affiliation. Implementing the 'yes' vote is one of the responsibilities of Parliament. We are going to Parliament tomorrow to fulfill that responsibility," he added.

He stressed that the opposition must be allowed to speak and that the referendum pledge should be implemented jointly by the government and opposition in Parliament.

He said the July Uprising spread through the sacrifice of Shaheed Abu Sayeed and highlighted that Rangpur has always been a region of brave children. NCP candidates have secured victories in the Rangpur region, and the party's 'Shapla Kali' symbol has become firmly ingrained in the minds of the people.

Emphasizing that regional discrimination will no longer be tolerated, Nahid Islam said, "In the upcoming city corporation elections, NCP candidates will contest under the 'Shapla Kali' symbol. Surprises await in the local government elections and will be revealed to the people at the right time."

He stated, "The security of our mothers and sisters is under threat. Children are being killed, and women are being raped. Those responsible must be held accountable. Fascism in Bangladesh has grown out of a culture of impunity."

He continued, "We demand proper justice. This impunity must end. We want to believe in the system, and there will be no more impunity in the country."

He also warned that a global war is ongoing and that an economic recession may affect the country. "Without national unity at this critical time, it will be impossible to move the country forward. The government cannot run the country alone," he said.

"As a result, national unity is essential," he added.

Family members of the martyrs and injured of the July Uprising, along with leaders and activists of BNP, NCP, Jamaat, AB Party, and other civil society leaders, attended the event.
