National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam has asked BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed to apologise for calling July activists -- who had gathered at the venue of the July Charter signing ceremony -- the “fascist army” of the Awami League. He made the call at a press conference on Saturday at the NCP’s temporary office in the capital’s Banglamotor. “A while ago, we saw that Salahuddin sir called July activists -- who were injured (Friday) – the followers of the ‘fascist’ Awami League,” Nahid said. During the event, several hundred July activists entered the venue, demanding official recognition, legal protection, and rehabilitation for those injured during the July Uprising. There cannot be anyone involved in any real July Uprising here.”Responding to the remarks, Nahid said Salahuddin had likely spoken “by mistake” due to a lack of information.
