NCP member secretary and MP Akhtar Hossain
National Citizens Party (NCP) member secretary and MP Akhtar Hossain told the government, “You will not be able to advance your activities for long by deceiving the people. Maybe you have a two-thirds majority, with the strength of which you are thinking of amending the constitution.”
But where there is no public opinion, a two-thirds majority cannot move forward. A one-party Constitution Amendment Committee is a step in the opposite direction of reform and a way to sabotage it. That is why the National Citizens Party (NCP) will not participate in this Constitution Amendment Committee.
He made these remarks at a press conference at the NCP office in Bangla Motors in the capital on Saturday night.
Akhtar Hossain said, “We want to express our demand to the government to abolish this Constitution Amendment Committee and form a Constitution Reform Council according to the referendum verdict. Unfortunately, we hear various things from the government – they will implement reforms, they are the father of reforms, we hear various things from their mouths. But the unfortunate thing is that they came to power after the outline of the three alliances was outlined in ’90 and then they did not want to implement the outline of those three alliances, it was clear to the nation that they did not want to implement it. This issue remains within the BNP that just as they did not want to implement the outline of the three alliances after ’90, they will not want to implement the reforms of this July.”
