Jumbangla Desk: After the bloody coup of the students, demands for reform of the ongoing political system of the country have been raised from various sides. The emergence of new political forces after the revolution is also being discussed. Political parties are also promising structural and policy changes. In the existing reality, the leaders leading the student movement are moving forward with the goal of fighting in the upcoming national elections. Their activities have already started. The leaders of the student movement are also communicating with the leaders of various parties with the aim of creating a political party or platform. A new party or platform can be formed with the leaders of the National Citizens' Committee formed under the auspices of the anti-discrimination student movement leaders and the leaders of various outside parties, civil society representatives. It will not directly involve the anti-discrimination student movement. But some of the leaders will be involved in the election process. Details from Daily Manavzamin's report:

Protest

Leaders of the student movement have already held talks with leaders of several parties. They discussed with a senior leader of BNP on Saturday. It is said that there were three advisors of the government in that discussion. Two of the three advisers were active in the student movement.
Amid various discussions on the tenure of the interim government, some are looking at the process of forming a new party differently.

Akhtar Hossain, member secretary of the National Citizens Committee, said that the National Citizens Committee will do the work of the civil society. But from here a section who are interested in politics can form a political party.

The spokesperson of anti-discrimination student movement, Umama Fatema, said that we have made a promise that the anti-discrimination student movement will not be transformed into a political party. We want to keep our organization that way. But if one wants to choose separately they can do so.

According to sources, the leaders of the student movement have been working on the party formation process for quite some time. They think that people want to see new political power in the new post-revolutionary Bangladesh. Those who will cherish the spirit of revolution and are ready to form the future Bangladesh in partnership with people of all classes and professions. Those who rise above party, opinion, religion and path will work on the question of 'Bangladesh First'. Will be uncompromising on the question of independence and sovereignty.
Police Station Committees are being formed across the country under the banner of National Citizens Committee to strengthen the activities. It is said that this committee is to organize those who worked in the coup. 9-point guidelines are also given for the formation of the committee. Where 25 percent women, 5 percent family of martyrs/wounded insurgents, 5 percent minorities, 5 percent farmers, working class and all ethnic groups based on the area are instructed to be represented. The maximum age limit is 50 years. And it was also informed that the fifty-year-old citizens will work with the citizens' committee through an advisory committee. After the formation of the committee, they are also holding exchange meetings in their respective areas. In addition to this, the anti-discrimination student movement is also organizing committees and meetings across the country. From there the issue of new political settlement is being discussed.

Earlier, the Liaison Committee was formed on August 8 to coordinate between the Interim Government's Advisory Council and the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and deliver proposals for a new political settlement to both. The coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement, Nahid Islam, announced a six-member liaison committee just before he was sworn in as an adviser that day. Where Mahfuz Alam, Nasir Uddin Patwari, Ariful Islam Adeeb, Bhuiyan Asaduzzaman, Akram Hossain and Mamun Abdullah were made members. In the press conference that day, Nahid Islam said that the Liaison Committee will work on dialogue and proposals with all the stakeholders for the new political settlement of the Bangladesh state. The National Citizens' Committee made its debut on September 8 at the Central Shaheed Minar, just a month after the formation of the Liaison Committee. This committee made its debut with several members of Liaison Committee. In that committee of 55 members, Muhammad Nasiruddin Patwari was made the convener and Akhtar Hossain the member secretary. Spokesperson Samantha Sharmin read out the goals and objectives of the civic committee that day. He said that the National Citizens' Committee has made its debut with the aim of restructuring the state, abolishing the fascist system and making the political settlement of 'New Bangladesh' a success.
A member of the National Citizens Committee said that they are working on the party formation process. Very soon people will know about this new political platform. However, they are not in a hurry. The aim is to build a new Bangladesh and ensure the representation of young leadership in parliament through elections.

When asked, Umama Fatema, the spokesperson of the anti-discrimination student movement, said that the committees are being formed with the priority of those who led from the front in the coup. We think it is important to integrate student power into the process in which the government works. Also so that no one can do any illegal work in the identity of coordinator. Sometimes they are doing illegal work but we can't identify it. Our platform is getting a bad name. So we want to bring them into a decorum. Creating a chain of command. Regarding the relationship with the civic committee, he said, at the moment we have no affiliation with the civic committee. Initially some from the Liaison Committee did this. But officially we have no relation with them. One of the coordinators of the student movement said that we have not thought about the election yet. There was no decision between us collectively. Which we believe is a coup platform and we will treat it as such. There was no joint decision with the civic committee to go to the polls.

Akhtar Hossain, member secretary of the National Citizens Committee, said that the National Citizens Committee is basically a platform for civil society. Which is basically working as a pressure group. The front will work in the same way. The point here is that the people of Bangladesh want to see youth as a political force. A place of people's demand has been created. Taking that place into consideration, we have the idea of ​​forming a political party by joining many of us and many others from outside. But it is not related to our National Citizens Committee. That is individual thinking. And the political party means the election where the vote will be won and lost. He said, now I am giving the new committees to create understanding among the people and to keep the young leadership organized and to strengthen the communication among themselves regarding the two goals of abolishing the fascist system and new political settlement.

Meanwhile, Sarjis Alam, one of the former co-ordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement and the current general secretary of July Martyrs Smriti Foundation, told reporters in Tangail on Sunday that the people of Bangladesh will decide whether the young generation who brought down the killer Hasina will form a political party or not. We believe from our place that they should merge and form a new political party. When the main political parties in Bangladesh will be four instead of two, the competition between the political parties to work for the people will increase. He said, fearing poker, many say minus one, minus two formula. We believe that the current demand of Bangladesh is not minus two but plus two formula. Sarzis said, there will be no system in Bangladesh - socialism or capitalism now there is no time and condition to limit it with certain theories. It will be determined in the light of the needs of the people of Bangladesh. He said, considering one group as an opponent, negotiating among themselves, or making a deal, they will come to power once, and come to power again. We need new and important political parties in Bangladesh to come out of this practice. In that case, if the people of Bangladesh express this support from their place, the students will form a political party unitedly. Then surely a new political party will appear in Bangladesh very soon. Source: Human Earth
