During his tribute to the martyrs of 1971, NCP Convener Nahid Islam stated that no more blood should be shed in the future and that a democratic state system must be established. He emphasized that 1971 and 2024 are not separate; what was desired in 1971 was achieved in 2024. He accused those opposing this idea of having dishonest intentions. He warned that any attempt to impose the old constitution, rehabilitate fascism, or rush elections without proper reforms and justice would be resisted by the people and the NCP.
