Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizens Party (NCP) and opposition whip, warned that rejecting the referendum verdict through court intervention would lead to dire consequences. He made the remarks on Monday evening at an iftar gathering organized by the NCP in Chattogram. Nahid said the issue of reform had already been settled through the referendum, but attempts were being made to overturn the people’s verdict in court.

He questioned whether the interim government’s security adviser was rewarded with a ministerial post by the BNP for election engineering and alleged that both domestic and foreign forces had been conspiring since August 5 to weaken the student movement. Nahid also stated that NCP activists would resist any attempt by the Awami League to resume political activities, asserting that the two parties could not coexist.

Other NCP leaders accused the BNP of rejecting the referendum results, conspiring with the “July Charter,” and fostering lawlessness. They warned that the party would face public resistance if it continued such actions.
