National Citizens’ Party (NCP) convenor Nahid Islam today said his party would not ally with any political party those who opposing reforms or carries historical responsibility.
He made the remarks while talking to journalists at Rajshahi Tourism Motel on Tuesday.
"NCP will sign the July Charter on the condition that the ‘note of dissent’ is annulled and the recommendations of the Consensus Commission on constitutional reforms are incorporated," he said.
Nahid said the implementation order of the July Charter cannot contain any ‘note of dissent.’
Decisions by the Consensus Commission regarding constitutional reform would be put to a public referendum and the constitution would be amended according to the people’s verdict, he said.
The approved measures would then be implemented under the leadership of Prof Muhammad Yunus, based on the legitimacy of the July popular uprising, Nahid said.
He also said that if the government ensures these conditions, NCP would sign the implementation order of the July Charter.
A roadmap for the trial of the atrocities during the July Uprising must be announced before the next national elections, he demanded.
Criticising the Election Commission as ‘arbitrary,’ he said the one-sided decision not to provide the Shapla symbol to NCP would force the party to mobilise street protests to claim it politically.
He alleged that fascist forces were conspiring to disrupt the elections and hinder NCP activities.
