Some of the students whose protests started a Revolution in Bangladesh Last year, the wear of the authoritarian leader of the country, Sheikh Hasin, was prompted, now a more conventional path to continue their vision of the country: they began the political party.
At a gathering in Daki, the capital, on Friday, some of the former student leaders announced the creation of a national civic party, which they said would continue the “centrally” political ideology. Although membership is open to everyone, the party will target students, thousands of whom have joined protests in 2024, but many have returned to their normal life since.
The leading new party will be Nahid Islam, a 27-year-old high school graduate who helped make a call for Mrs. Hasin’s resignation after a 15-year rule during which Democratic freedoms are eroded in the midst of allegations of corruption and equipped elections.
After ejecting Mrs. Hasin, Mr. Islam joined caretaker governmentled by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, who seeks to bring back to Bangladesh and open the way for free and honest elections. The country did not determine the date, but Mr. Yunus said that the vote could occur until December.
This week, Mr. Islam resigned from the Government, saying that “I need it now to stop with students and people to help build a new political force.”
The hope is that the movement of the political path will allow the student voices to be heard while Bangladesh is trying to build a strong democracy. An umbrella group called students against discrimination, which represented most of the protesters, will continue as a non -political entity.
Earlier discussions about the student political party have drawn criticism from the rivals. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which became the largest political group in the country after the effective disappearance of the Awami League of Mrs. Hasin, complained that the new party had an unfair advantage because its leader was part of the temporary government.
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, leader of the BNP, said he welcomed the formation of the student party, “but that does not mean that you can stay in the Government, enjoy all government benefits and at the same time shape your party.”
Two student leaders who joined the temporary government, Mahfuj Alam and Asif Mahmud, said they would stay in their jobs and would not join the national civic party. Mr. Mahmud recently said that they could not be associated with any political party because they were helping to oversee the democratic transition.
