Amid growing political tensions over a proposed referendum ahead of the upcoming national election, the BNP on Thursday reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to implementing the “July National Charter,” signed on 17 October, and urged all political parties to avoid raising new issues or creating crises that could disrupt the electoral process.
The party clarified its position on the Charter’s implementation during a virtual meeting of its National Standing Committee, chaired by Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.
A press release issued by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir outlined the decisions taken at the meeting.
The release noted that, following extensive deliberations within the National Consensus Commission, a broad national consensus was reached on several key issues—some with reservations—which were formalised in a historic ceremony at the South Plaza of the National Parliament on 17 October.
" The party would uphold the strength of the democracy-loving people against all ill attempts to create new questions or crises over the implementation of the unanimously adopted July National Charter, reaffirming its respect for the boundless sacrifices of the martyrs and the injured in the long 16-year relentless struggle for the restoration of democracy and in the mass uprising of July–August 2024", it noted.
The BNP also said it firmly believes that all political parties will remain united in implementing the consensus reached through long discussions and, under no circumstances, will raise new questions or create crises that could obstruct the election to be held for the restoration of democracy.
“BNP calls upon the interim government to take sincere and effective measures for the lawful implementation of all the issues agreed upon in the July National Charter and to ensure that the national election is held on time,” it added.
