NCP Has Hijacked July; Many of Them Are Corrupt: Inquilab Mancha

Dhaka, 18 May 2025 — Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi has accused the National Citizens’ Party (NCP) of monopolising the July movement and claimed that many of its members are corrupt. He asserted that the unity of July has largely been destroyed due to the actions of NCP.

These remarks were made during a press conference held at the Madhur Canteen in Dhaka University on Saturday.

Sharif Osman Hadi elaborated on the proposed format for the National Government, which would be headed by Professor Muhammad Yunus, and include:

⚠️ Warning Against Instability

Hadi issued a stern warning regarding the potential consequences if the Chief Adviser resigns amid current political tensions:

“If the Chief Adviser steps down now, the country may plunge into civil war. The responsibility will lie with the major political parties.”

He further alleged that some advisers are mediating on behalf of the ruling Awami League and that elements loyal to the previous regime remain entrenched in the police and administration.

🧩 Alleged Political Manipulation

Hadi raised concerns about some advisers using Professor Yunus’s image as a means to retain power for up to five more years, which, he claims, is contributing to a crisis of legitimacy.

“Even if the fascists have fled, their collaborators remain in powerful state institutions.”

📜 The Urgent Need for a ‘July Declaration’

Sharif Osman Hadi stressed the need for a formal July Declaration to ensure:

He warned:

“Without the July Declaration, we will not be able to legally proscribe the Awami League. If elections are held beforehand, any upcoming regime might, under Delhi’s advice, lift the ban, and July warriors will be sentenced to death.”

To push this demand, Inquilab Mancha plans to reach out to citizens across the country throughout the upcoming week.

🧭 Final Words from Inquilab Mancha

Concluding the conference, Hadi declared:

“Unless the government commits to a July Declaration, no judge in Bangladesh will deliver a verdict banning the Awami League. This is a dangerous task, but we believe that if our lives must be sacrificed to save this nation, we will have no regrets.”

He reiterated that the current government must stop deflecting responsibility and instead focus squarely on its three main duties:

1. Ensuring justice for the July massacre
2. Implementing fundamental reforms
3. Arranging for swift, fair elections

📌 Summary Table

For further updates, Inquilab Mancha has called for public engagement and national mobilisation in the coming week to demand the issuance of the July Declaration and uphold justice and democratic reforms.
