The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, which played a pivotal role in the ousting of dictator Sheikh Hasina, is joining forces with the Jatiya Nagorik Committee to establish a new political party. This initiative, set to launch within one to two months, aims to provide a fresh alternative to what they describe as the “country’s pervasive dirty politics.”
Jatiya Nagorik Committee leader Nasiruddin Patwary made the announcement while paying tribute at the National Mausoleum in Savar, commemorating Victory Day. He emphasized that the new party will embody the spirit of the July-August student-led uprising, striving to create a corruption- and terrorism-free nation on the global stage.
The party will unite the same forces that successfully led to the removal of the Awami League regime on August 5, with the goal of replacing oppressive political tendencies with a reformed state apparatus.
As the country anticipates elections in the first half of 2026, Nasiruddin made it clear that the new party will not endorse the upcoming general elections until all perpetrators of the civilian killings during the July-August uprising are brought to justice. He highlighted the historical pattern of elections occurring without accountability for those responsible for violence against peaceful protesters, urging collective action to ensure justice for the victims of the Awami League.
Reflecting on the recent uprising, Nasiruddin asserted that it also marked a significant step toward independence from Indian influence. He cautioned that the younger generation must remain vigilant against ongoing conspiracies orchestrated by New Delhi and the Awami League, reinforcing the need for active engagement in the political landscape.
