After completing its month-long July March across all 64 districts, the National Citizen Party (NCP) is set to officially unveil its Manifesto for a New Bangladesh tomorrow, Sunday, at Dhaka’s Central Shaheed Minar.
According to a post from the party’s verified Facebook page on Saturday, NCP Convenor Nahid Islam will announce the manifesto in a mass gathering aimed at outlining the party’s vision and promises for building a reformed and inclusive Bangladesh.
NCP has called on leaders and activists from across the country to gather at Shaheed Minar for what they describe as a “historic” event. The declaration will encapsulate the voices of ordinary citizens—garnered from conversations held with workers, farmers, housewives, and day laborers throughout the July March.
In a comment under the party’s post, NCP’s Secretary for Publicity and Publications, Mohammad Miraj Miah, stated that the manifesto reflects the concerns and aspirations of everyday people from both rural and urban areas. He added that this document would serve as a public pledge, incorporating what people want, what they fear, and what they expect from a future Bangladesh.
“On August 3, 2024, it was at this very Shaheed Minar that the call for the ‘One-Point Demand’ was made,” Miraj noted. “Now, exactly one year later, Nahid Islam—who first voiced that demand—is returning with the NCP’s full political vision.”
Alongside the manifesto, NCP is also expected to announce its next set of programs, aimed at implementing the July Declaration and Charter—a political roadmap first introduced during the July March.
NCP’s central leadership has issued instructions to all district and upazila-level coordination committees to mobilize activists and ensure the success of tomorrow’s gathering.
