Politics must now be based on the values of ’24: Nahid
This news article from The Business Standard (published August 8, 2025) reports on a statement made by Nahid Islam, convener of Bangladesh's National Citizen Party (NCP), calling for a new political culture grounded in the values of the 2024 July Uprising rather than the 1971 Liberation War framework. Nahid argued that the 2024 uprising created a new political reality centered on equity, dignity, justice, and national reconciliation, and that clinging to the old "pro-'71 vs. anti-'71" political binary is outdated and authoritarian. He emphasized that while 1971 should be respected as historical foundation, the spirit of 2024 — defined by unity, consensus, and collective responsibility — must now guide Bangladesh's political direction.
