Bangla Press Desk: The decision of merging the National Citizen Party (NCP) and the Gono Odhikar Parishad would be finalised after Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur’s return following treatment.
According to insiders, both youth-led political parties, formed around the quota reform movement, are initially positive about the merger. However, both party leaders want to retain their party names after the merger. The core discussions may begin after the return of Nur, who is receiving treatment for injuries received during a mob attack last month.
Both parties may be abolished, and a separate party may be formed to bring both parties under a single umbrella, they said, adding that the two parties have a long history of acting together on the streets, including during the quota reform movement in 2018, the DUCSU election in 2019, and the anti-arrival movement of Indian Prime Minister Modi in 2021.
The merger discussion came into light after Gono Odhikar Parishad’s General Secretary Md Rashed Khan shared the idea on his Facebook post. In his post, he said that the discussion of uniting the youth was progressing positively.
