Dhaka, 28 Jan - A new political party, ‘Bangladesh Democratic Power,’ has emerged with a commitment to protecting the country's sovereignty and contributing to national reconstruction, rather than seeking power or elections.

He remarked those at a press conference held at the National Press Club on Tuesday.

Ehtesham-ul-Haq further emphasized, "The name of our apolitical movement is Sovereignty Movement, which represents the students, the people, and various sections of society. The movement is not about elections or power, but rather about playing a pivotal role in protecting the nation's sovereignty, state reconstruction, and national development, with unwavering dedication to the welfare of the people and the country." - UNB
