Former Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) vice president Nurul Haque Nur and former Gono Forum general secretary Dr Reza Kibria have launched a new political party styled “Bangladesh Gono Odhikar Parishad”. The announcement was made during a media event on Tuesday held at the new party’s office at Dhaka’s Paltan.
At the event, a 101-member convening committee was unveiled with Reza Kibria, the son of former finance minister Shah AMS Kibria, as the convener and Nur as the member secretary. Meanwhile, Rashed Khan, Faruq Hasan, Sohrab Hossain, Abu Hanif and Mahfuzur Rahman Khan have been made joint conveners.
Nur, who announced the formation, said their party’s slogan will be “People’s rights, our promise”, or “Janatar Odhikar, Amader Ongikar,” reports UNB.
Most of the party leaders are former central committee leaders of ‘Bangladesh Chatra Odhikar Parishad’, a student body that emerged over the quota reform movement, UNB reports. The party will run its activities based on the four main principles- democracy, justice, rights and public interest, the event was told.
