There is no scope for doing politics in Bangladesh denying the spirit of 1971, said Nasiruddin Patwary, chief coordinator of National Citizen Party (NCP).
He termed 1971 as the foundational core of Bangladesh, adding that any group or party attempting to bypass this legacy would face political backlash.
He made the remarks while responding to journalists at a press conference held on Tuesday ahead of the formal launch of the NCP's youth wing, Jatiya Juboshokti (National Youth Power).
The event took place at the NCP youth wing's central office in the Rupayan Trade Center in the capital's Banglamotor area.
"Denying 1971 leaves no space for politics in Bangladesh," Patwary asserted.
"The Liberation War is our foundation. We reclaimed that spirit in 2024. This foundation must be preserved. Any attempt to sidestep this history will only backfire politically."
The official launching event of Jatiya Juboshokti will take place on May 16 (Friday) on Abrar Fahad Avenue in the capital's Gulistan area.
