NCP Convener Nahid Islam has urged the nation to follow the legacy of Maulana Bhashani in resisting neo-colonial dominance from Britain, Delhi, and Pindi (Pakistan's military establishment). Speaking in Tangail, he described Bhashani as “a champion of farmers, workers, and the oppressed.”

He added, “Students played a key role in past uprisings and must also lead the way in building a future Bangladesh free of inequality. We fought fascist Hasina together, and we will stand united against all forms of injustice moving forward.”
