NCP Demands Referendum Verdict, Rejects Unilateral Reform
Faisal Ahmed Sweet, Reporter ||
The
National Citizen Party (NCP) has demanded the immediate implementation of the
referendum verdict and the dissolution of a government-formed committee tasked
with amending the constitution, accusing the government of undermining the
reform process.At
an emergency press conference in the capital on Saturday, the party announced
three demands and made it clear that it would not participate in what it
described as the government's unilateral constitutional amendment process.The
NCP's three demands are the immediate implementation of the referendum verdict,
the dissolution of the one-party constitutional amendment committee and the
prompt formation of a Constitution Reform Council.The
party also urged the public not to be misled into believing that it would join
the government-formed committee. Presenting
the party's position, NCP Member Secretary and MP Akhtar Hossain said a
framework for forming a Constitution Reform Council had been developed through
discussions at the Parliamentary Consensus Commission with the agreement of all
political parties.However,
the government had bypassed that process and formed a committee to amend the
constitution unilaterally, he alleged. Akhtar
described the move as a gross betrayal of the referendum verdict and a
conspiracy to derail reforms.NCP
political council member and joint convener Sarwar Tushar, political council
member Saleh Uddin Sifat, joint convener Monira Sharmin and joint member
secretary Faridul Haque were also present at the press conference.
