Declaring that Muhammad Yunus represents the 2024 uprising against the Sheikh Hasina government and not a political party, Nahid Islam, a key student leader of the group that led the revolt last year to oust the former Prime Minister, resigned from the interim government.
She announced to launch a new political party in Bangladesh on February 28, stating that the “ideologies of the existing political parties do not represent all the people of the country".
Nahid said that the students will form a new political party to represent “new hopes and aspirations".
“After the July 2024 uprising, new hopes and aspirations have been born in Bangladesh. In view of those hopes and aspirations, the students have taken the initiative to form a new political party", said Samanta Shermeen, spokesperson of Jatio Nagorik Committee, a platform of the student’s group.
“Dr Yunus does not represent Jamat or Bangladesh ist Party (BNP); Dr Yunus represents the uprising, and all the advisers represent the uprising. They do not represent any political party", she said.
