Bangladesh Students' Party Launches Amid Promise to End Pro-India, Pro-Pak Politics

Nahid Islam, a 27-year-old university graduate, has emerged as a key leader in the formation of a new political faction, the National Citizen Party (NCP). Islam was a leading figure in the protests that led to the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government last year. The NCP has announced its formation, with Islam at its helm, and has vowed to pursue a centrist political ideology. This faction is notable, as some of its members have announced plans to leave the interim government to start this new political party. The NCP has also stated that it aims to root out pro-India and pro-Pakistan politics from the country.
