The Anti-Discrimination Students Movement and the Jatiyo Nagorik Committee will announce the formation of a new political party following a week-long campaign titled "Your Vision of a New Bangladesh" to gather public opinion, leaders of the platforms said at a press briefing today (5 February).

They said the campaign aims to collect around one lakh opinions from the public regarding the new political party.

At the press briefing held at the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement's office in the capital's Banglamotor, they also invited people to propose names and symbols for the party, calling it a unique initiative in Bangladesh's political history, where public opinion is being sought on such a large scale.

Nasiruddin Patwary, convenor of the Citizens' Committee, said that both the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the Nagorik Committee will continue as independent political platforms to preserve the spirit of the July Revolution, and will work together to form a political party that represents the people.

Nasiruddin Patwary said, "This is the largest consultative effort ever undertaken by a new political party in our country to gather public opinion."

"We are not just starting a party; we are starting a movement where every citizen, from a garment worker to a university professor, has a voice in shaping the policies that affect their lives."

Leaders of the platforms stated that this initiative adopts a multifaceted approach, ensuring equal participation opportunities both digitally and offline. For those without internet access, forms are being filled out directly, while digital forms will reach tech-savvy communities through WhatsApp and social media platforms.

Hasnat Abdullah, convener of the Anti-discrimination Students Movement, said, "Real change doesn't happen in air-conditioned offices. That's why we're on the ground, with farmers, listening to rickshaw drivers, and hearing from garment workers during their breaks. This party will rise not from the top, but from the people."
