Dhaka, Mar 06 (V7N) – Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizens Party (NCP), has urged scholars, writers, and analysts to study and document the July mass uprising from a neutral perspective.

He made the appeal at the unveiling ceremony of the first book written about the party, titled ‘NCPir Jatra’, on Friday. Islam emphasized that the experience of the past one and a half years has shaped the trajectory of Bangladesh’s political future and highlighted the importance of recording the political struggle in various forms, including literature, music, and art.

“The history of the July uprising should be written, analyzed, and interpreted carefully. In time, we will fully understand how the uprising unfolded,” he said.

Islam explained that the National Citizens Committee was formed over the last decade through leadership organized across the country, while students led the anti-discrimination movements. “The convergence of these efforts gave birth to the NCP,” he said.

He highlighted that while many platforms emerged from the mass uprising, the NCP remains the political party representing its spirit, as much of the main leadership of the movement is now within the party. “We have worked to uphold politics of reform and justice,” he added.

Expressing concern about misinformation, Islam said that social media and diplomatic circles are being fed inaccurate narratives about the NCP. “This book clarifies our positions on various issues, which have often been misrepresented,” he noted.

He also warned that without economic security, anti-discrimination measures, and democratic reforms, Bangladesh could witness movements similar to those recently seen in Nepal.

The book ‘NCPir Jatra’ is the first comprehensive work highlighting the party’s journey and its role in the country’s recent political movements.
