At a conference held at Suhrawardy Udyan, Nahid Islam strongly criticized the current government, claiming that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has moved away from its pro-democracy stance after coming to power.

Speaking on Saturday morning at the triennial national conference of the Bangladesh Labour Welfare Federation, he said the party has failed to meet public expectations. “After tasting power, they have forgotten their past struggles and sacrifices,” he remarked.

Nahid Islam alleged that a significant portion of votes was not properly reflected and that key legislative promises remain unfulfilled. He pointed to a lack of progress on ordinances related to the human rights commission, police reform, and judicial independence.

He further stated that although national unity is crucial in the current, the government has failed to maintain it. Instead, he accused it of increasing political instability by breaking commitments made to the public.

Hinting at possible street protests, he said that alongside parliamentary efforts, preparations for mass movements are necessary to press demands. He also emphasized holding the government accountable on issues such as workers’ rights and referendums.

In his closing remarks, Nahid Islam warned that failing to meet public expectations can lead to political consequences, urging the government to remain mindful of this reality.
