Addressing the rally, NCP’s northern region chief coordinator Sarjis Alam said, “Let us be clear, the 1972 Constitution was the product of a single party, passed from another country. We can no longer allow this Mujibist constitution to remain effective in Bangladesh. We have come here today to demand a new constitution ending the Mujibist one.”
“Many who stood at this Shaheed Minar a year ago are now martyrs. Their families are here with us. We are here to demand justice for their killing. We sought guarantee from the government for fundamental reforms. We demand the rehabilitation of the families of martyrs. We are here to ensure proper treatment for the injured fighters,” he continued.
