Akhtar Hossain, Member-Secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has called for the prosecution of those responsible for genocide and crimes against humanity during the July uprising. Speaking in Rangpur after paying respects at the grave of martyred activist Abu Sayeed, Hossain demanded the abolition of the existing "Mujibist" constitution and the drafting of a new one through an elected constituent assembly.

He described Abu Sayeed as a symbol of resistance against inequality and pledged that the NCP, alongside students and citizens, would carry forward his legacy through continued struggle.
