Nahid Islam, the convenor of the newly formed National Citizen Party (NCP), has said Bangladesh will never be divided again and that there will be no place for pro-India or pro-Pakistan politics in the country.
“There will be no room for pro-India or pro-Pakistan politics in Bangladesh. We all will build politics and the state unitedly, keeping Bangladesh and the interests of its people in mind,” he said while speaking at the launch event of the new party on Manik Mia Avenue on Friday evening.

“From this stage today, we vow that Bangladesh will never be divided again,” added Nahid.
Nahid said one of the primary goals of the party is to formulate a new constitution through a ‘constituent assembly’ election to establish the ‘second republic’ in Bangladesh.
“We must eliminate all possibilities of reestablishing constitutional dictatorship by formulating a new democratic constitution. One of our primary goals is to formulate a new constitution through the election of a constituent assembly to establish our second republic,” he said.
He said Jatiya Nagorik Party will be a democratic, egalitarian and people-representing political party.
“We believe that the July 2024 student-people uprising has initiated the struggle to establish our second republic,” the NCP chief said.
