DHAKA, Jan 16, 2026 (BSS) - A new political platform, Network for People's Action (NPA), was formally launched today.
The platform was floated this afternoon at the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital.
Launching with the slogan "People's Power, Freedom of the Future (Jonogoner Shakti, Agamir Mukti)," the NPA has set five core principles: democracy, equality, human dignity, social justice, and protection of life and nature.
Speakers at the ceremony urged unity to build a people-oriented political force.
Three spokespersons were announced for the platform -- Ferdous Ara Rumee, Nazifa Jannat and Tuhin Khan -- while a 101-member central committee was also declared.
The platform's declaration was read out by Ferdous Ara Rumee, Tuhin Khan and Nazifa Jannat.
It said the 2024 July Uprising of students, workers and ordinary citizens ended the country's longest authoritarian and fascist rule.
The declaration noted widespread human rights violations, enforced disappearances, killings, economic mismanagement and rising living costs over the past years, which culminated in the mass uprising following the quota reform movement.
The declaration said, there is an urgent need for a political platform that prioritises democracy and democratic processes and builds a new political space centred on citizens' rights.
