NCP's month-long 'July March to Build the Nation' from July 1

National Citizens' Party (NCP) will launch a countrywide campaign titled "Desh Gorte July Padajatra" (July March to Build the Nation) from Tuesday to July 1.

NCP Convener Nahid Islam announced the program on Sunday morning at a press conference held at the party’s makeshift office in the capital’s Banglamotor area.

“Starting July 1 (Tuesday) we will observe the anniversary of the ‘July Mass Uprising’. A year has already passed since that historic movement. While we’ve achieved many things, there are also disappointments. It is our moral duty to remember the historic 36 days of July and August,” said Nahid Islam.

He said the Padajatra will begin with a visit to the grave of Shaheed Abu Sayeed and eventually march across the country before returning to Dhaka. The party will also observe "Anti-Discrimination Martyrs’ Day" on July 16, Nahid added.
