India, Jan. 14 -- National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam on Tuesday warned that the July Uprising would be rendered meaningless if the 'No' vote prevails in the upcoming referendum, arguing that such an outcome would keep the previous system intact and pave the way for a return to authoritarian rule.
He made the remarks while inaugurating a campaign vehicle in favour of the 'Yes' vote at Banglamotor in the capital on Tuesday afternoon.
"The July Uprising will fail if the 'No' vote wins, because the old system will remain," Nahid said. "It is the responsibility of all political parties to campaign for the 'Yes' vote. But we are seeing that a particular party is instead campaigning for 'No'."
