National Citizens Party (NCP) convener and opposition chief whip Nahid Islam has demanded the removal of the President, describing it as the demand of a new Bangladesh. He made the statement on Wednesday at the NCP’s Rangpur divisional iftar and prayer gathering held at Shaheed Abu Sayeed Stadium in Rangpur. Nahid Islam urged everyone to raise their voices if the demand is not met.

He said he wants to see an effective parliament in the coming term, where ruling party members will take oath under the Constitutional Reform Council. He expressed hope that the opposition will be allowed to speak and that all commitments will be honored. Remembering Shaheed Abu Sayeed, who initiated a national rebellion, he pledged that Rangpur Division would not face discrimination in the future.

During the event, a clash broke out between two NCP factions, leaving five people injured, three of whom were hospitalized. Many attendees reportedly did not receive food due to the incident.
