During a march program in Rangamati, leaders of the National Citizens Party (NCP) emphasized the need to ensure equal rights for all people of both hill and plain regions. They strongly opposed any form of discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, or caste. The leaders expressed their vision of building a new Bangladesh founded on harmony and goodwill. To achieve this, they called for the abolition of the Mujib-era constitution and the drafting of a new one.

Ahead of the march, security was tightened in the city with the deployment of 1,100 law enforcement personnel. The NCP leaders also urged for united resistance against political and administrative discrimination in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
