NCP senior joint convener Samanta Sharmin has emphasized the pivotal role of women in nation-building, citing the historical contributions of Natore to Bangladesh's political struggles. Speaking at a street rally at Shadhinata Chattar in Natore, she recalled the legacy of Rani Bhabani, a prominent female leader during British colonial rule.

“Natore has always been at the forefront of national movements,” Sharmin stated. “The contribution of Natore residents to the 2024 mass uprising will not be forgotten.”

The event marked the seventh day of the NCP's July march, with central party leaders arriving in Natore from Rajshahi, greeted warmly by local activists with floral receptions.
