Nahid Islam, Convener of the NCP, declared that building a “new Bangladesh” is meaningless without a new constitution. He criticized the previous constitution for failing to uphold human rights. “Only a new constitution can restore trust between the state and the people,” he said. Nahid expressed hope for consensus-driven progress and stressed the need for fundamental reforms. “Agreeing on minor issues while fundamental ones remain unresolved will lead nowhere,” he added. He also emphasized that once judicial reform gains consensus, elections should no longer be a point of contention. He called for a clear roadmap for the ongoing trials related to the Awami League, asserting that it would restore public confidence.
