Gono Odhikar Parishad leader Nurul Haque Nure has called on Awami League activists to atone for their past misdeeds and seek forgiveness from the people.

“Everyone must repent according to the extent of their sins. If you try to raise your hood like a snake, the people will crush it,” Nure warned.

Addressing Awami League, Chhatra League, and Jubo League members, he said: “Our message is clear—we want to build a new Bangladesh. Those who committed minor wrongdoings will be forgiven. But those responsible for plunder, enforced disappearances, killings, and attacks on opposition voices must pay for their crimes.”

Nure further declared that Awami League will not return to national politics: “If you think Awami League will rise again, you are living in a fool’s paradise. If you want to do politics, join other parties—BNP, Jamaat, or Gono Odhikar Parishad.”

On political reforms, he expressed frustration: “We spent two months discussing reforms and consensus commissions, but no meaningful progress was made. If the July charter does not reflect people’s aspirations, our party will not sign it.”
