In a bid to push forward its agenda for justice, political reform and Constituent Assembly elections, Jatiya Nagorik Party (NCP) is set to propose a comprehensive policy framework while forming grassroots-level committees across the country.
At its third general assembly held on Friday, April 19, party leadership outlined plans to decentralize organizational activities, introduce reform proposals and launch nationwide protest programs aimed at addressing issues ranging from border violence and price hikes to demands for accountability inside party.
Chaired by Convenor Nahid Islam and conducted by Member Secretary Akhter Hossen, the meeting decided to establish new organisational structures dividing 64 districts into 19 zones to enhance efficiency.
Chief Organisers Sarjis Alam (Northern Region) and Hasnat Abdullah (Southern Region) proposed policies setting membership parameters for district committees (31-51 members) and sub-district committees (21-41 members). Committee convenors must now be at least 40 years old.
Following allegations against certain NCP figures, attendees unanimously agreed to form a "Discipline and Investigation Committee" to be announced on April 20.
Key agenda items included drafting reform proposals, planning protests against Awami League's alleged genocidal acts, demanding Constituent Assembly elections, and urging effective government action on border killings.
Additional concerns addressed were Israeli violence in Gaza, India's Wakf Bill protests and mounting pressure on authorities to tackle rising living costs affecting ordinary citizens.
NCP's Dhaka Metropolitan unit plans to hold protests this week focusing on justice, reforms and Constituent Assembly elections, according to Joint Member Secretary Saleh Uddin Sifat.
Meeting began with condolences for the death of Central Organiser Khairul Kabir's mother.
