National Citizens Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam declared that his party remains united against what he termed the 'traitors of 1971 and 2024'. Speaking at the National Martyrs’ Memorial on December 16, he accused 'fallen fascist forces' of attempting to destabilize Bangladesh and disrupt the upcoming parliamentary elections. Islam linked current political unrest to historical struggles for sovereignty and justice, asserting that the people’s fight for dignity continues.

He criticized the government for failing to arrest those involved in the recent attack on Inquilab Mancha leader Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, expressing frustration over what he described as a deteriorating security environment. Islam also urged NCP candidates to campaign for reform and a 'yes' vote in the forthcoming election and referendum.

Political analysts view his remarks as part of a broader effort by smaller parties to position themselves amid rising uncertainty before the polls. The NCP’s emphasis on anti-fascist unity may signal attempts to mobilize disaffected voters seeking systemic reform.
