No plan to form political party right now: Nahid

Nahid Islam, Adviser for Posts, Telecommunications, and Information Technology, has said that they have no plan to form a political party at this moment.

He said this in a Facebook post at 9:05am on Friday.

“We want to formulate the outline of the future Bangladesh through discussions and dialogues with the people. We have no plan to form a political party at this moment. The students and people will act as a socio-political force to preserve the spirit of the revolution and the government will work towards restructuring the state according to the aspirations of people,” Nahid, also one of the key coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, said in the post.

He also said, “At this moment, it is necessary to stand by the families of the injured and martyrs in the uprising, to maintain the spirit of the new nation building and reformation of institutions and to uphold the national unity. The students and the interim government will work towards that goal.”

“Abolition of the fascist system and the establishing a new political system were part of our one-point demand. That requires a lot of work and political activities,” Nahid added.
