'Signing of July Charter by few parties doesn’t constitute national unity'
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune covers a statement made by Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizens Party (NCP), at the launch of the party's workers' wing, "National Workers' Power," in Dhaka. He argued that the signing of the July Charter by a limited number of political parties does not represent genuine national unity, stating that true unity requires participation from workers and people across various professions. Islam also criticized the interim government for forming six election-focused reform commissions while neglecting labor and public service reforms, and referenced worker oppression during Sheikh Hasina's 16-year rule, including police killings of protesting workers in early 2024. He held up the July popular uprising — characterized by cross-sector participation without party banners — as his model for authentic national unity.
