NCP convener and opposition chief whip Nahid Islam has said that attempts are being made to rehabilitate the Awami League in the name of the Liberation War and the historic 7 March. Speaking as the chief guest at an iftar and doa mahfil organized by NCP Faridpur at Ambika Memorial Hall on Saturday, he stated that the Liberation War is a glorious chapter for the nation, but the Awami League has tarnished that glory by legitimizing crimes such as enforced disappearances, killings, and money laundering in its name.

Nahid Islam accused the government of betraying the aspirations of July and the July Charter, claiming that while his party took two oaths under the implementation order, the ruling party violated one of them. Expressing willingness to work positively with the government, he demanded that the Reform Council take oath before the 12th session and that the first session remove what he called a fascist president. Otherwise, he warned, the eleven-party alliance would take to the streets.

Several NCP and affiliated organization leaders attended the event as special guests.
