National Citizen Party Convener Nahid Islam said that they are fighting for citizen dignity, regardless of religious, ethnic, communal, and linguistic identities, claiming that they dream of a democratic and inclusive society, and they will seek people's politics rather than seeking power politics.
He made these statements while visiting the Mohammadpur area of the capital on Thursday amid day-long rain.
He also delivered speeches at the "Dream School" situated at Geneva Camp.
He later delivered another speech at Mohammadpur around 6:30pm.
In an address to residents of the Geneva camp, the NCP outlined their vision for a multicultural Bangladesh while reflecting on the recent mass uprising that toppled the previous government.
"There can be diversity - but we live in the state as citizens, and everyone has the right to access the state's education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and all political and economic rights," stated Nahid, speaking to the community.
He further claimed that NCP dreams of such a democratic and inclusive state and society where all communities, all language speakers, and people of all religions will live together and receive equal dignity and equal rights.
"This is our dream. And we believe that the mass uprising actually happened for this dream," Nahid added.
The remarks specifically acknowledged the Urdu-speaking population's place in Bangladesh. "The Urdu language and Urdu-speaking people are also intertwined with Bangladesh's civilization, Bangladesh's culture, everything about Bangladesh," Nahid stated, calling for Bangladesh to be built "as a country of multiple languages and multiple cultures."
Nahid noted that "the interim government has been formed with the commitment of the mass uprising" - specifically reform, justice, and preventing authoritarian rule from returning to Bangladesh.
Addressing systemic corruption, the NCP representative painted a picture of widespread graft affecting basic services. "Even to get a bed in a hospital, we have to resort to various forms of corruption. Even to get admission to a school or college, we have to resort to corruption. To get a job, we need to have uncles and relatives there," Nahid stated.
"In the coming days, we won't seek power - we will do people's politics. We were born to do that people's politics, and we have returned to the streets again," Nahid added.
Speaking on behalf of the National Citizen Party, Tasnim Jara, senior joint member secretary of the party delivered a direct message rejecting the violent practices of Bangladesh's political past.
"In the Bangladesh where we stand today, we don't want a Bangladesh where people will be killed or disappeared when they take to the streets," Jara stated.
She emphasized the NCP's commitment to protect working-class citizens across all sectors. "Our rickshaw pullers, our workers, garment workers, shopkeepers - everyone has the right to a safe Bangladesh," she said.
Central to the NCP's platform is rejecting partisan governance. "We don't want to return to a system where the state and government work only for the party or for one side," Jara said. "The state will work for all citizens. The NCP will work toward that goal."
Akram Hossain, joint member secretary of NCP made security commitments for Mohammadpur, directly confronting ongoing violence and extortion in the area.
"The NCP will ensure the safety of everyone who does business in Mohammadpur and everyone who lives in Mohammadpur," Akram stated.
He demanded the Interim government and the city corporation that CCTV cameras must be installed in every lane and alley of Mohammadpur.
Highlighting the severity of local security issues, Akram described the current situation. "In Mohammadpur, businessmen's cars are repeatedly shot at, extortion happens in various places, people can't do business properly."
