Countrymen won’t accept those who want to sustain mafia system, corruption: Nahid

The countrymen would not accept those who want to sustain the mafia system and corruption, National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam has said.

“We need to change this system. New system will be needed to change the extortion, corruption and mafia system. This is our promise to the martyrs,” he said while addressing a street rally in Bagerhat yesterday (12 July).

Noting that the NCP will not compromise with the old settlement, the NCP convener said, “We have said that the state should be reformed and the country will be restructured. If you still do not come in favour of reform, rather support old politics, and want to sustain the politics of extortion, mafia and corruption, then the countrymen will take to the streets against you again.”

Nahid said, “If you have trust on us, we will unite to change this system. This is our commitment to the martyrs. The July Charter must be implemented. 

“We have to move forward through justice, reform and a new constitution.”
