On the contrary, the statement read, in the speeches and slogans of NCP members, the historic chapters of the people’s struggles in this region, especially 1947, 1971, and 2024, were clearly reflected.
“We have also observed that during the performance of the national anthem, although one group raised objections, the protesters firmly went ahead with the anthem.”
NCP believes that the proper recognition and honouring of the historic struggles of the people of Bangladesh – especially those of 1947, 1971, and 2024 – is a precondition for doing politics in Bangladesh.
The statement further says: “Those who stood against the people’s liberation war in 1971, and those accused of collaborating in genocide, must now clearly explain their political stance to the nation. This will strengthen national consensus and unity and help realise the people’s aspirations of the 2024 uprising.”
