Dhaka, Oct 29 (NationPress) The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has charged the National Consensus Commission (NCC) with misleading both the populace and political factions through its conclusive suggestions on the July Charter, insisting on immediate amendments to integrate dissenting opinions.

These comments were expressed by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir after the NCC presented its recommendations to Chief Advisor of the interim government, Muhammad Yunus, regarding the execution of the July Charter.

“The Consensus Commission submitted its final recommendations yesterday (Tuesday) to the Chief Advisor, who also chairs the Commission. To our astonishment, the topics we clearly opposed and for which we provided dissent notes were completely disregarded,” reported UNB, quoting the BNP official at a book launch event in Dhaka.

He continued by pointing out that the Commission had previously assured the inclusion of all dissenting opinions.

“However, when the recommendations were unveiled, those dissent notes were entirely overlooked. This cannot be termed a consensus. It is a betrayal of the people and political entities. I believe these matters need immediate rectification,” Fakhrul asserted.

The BNP figure emphasized that the fundamental issue lies in ensuring a genuine election that would lead to the establishment of a people’s parliament, which would enable constitutional reforms and proper governance.

“I urge the Chief Advisor to remember. You pledged to the people to implement necessary reforms and conduct a credible election. The parliament formed through that election will be the arena for addressing all these crises. I must clarify that any deviation from this commitment will place full responsibility on you,” Fakhrul declared.

In addition, on Wednesday, BNP Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed claimed that the NCC’s recommendations neither reflect the discussions held with political groups nor adhere to the provisions of the July Charter signed on October 17.

“The charter encompasses solely the Commission’s proposals. It fails to mention what political parties suggested, where a consensus was achieved, or where dissent notes were documented,” Ahmed stated during a seminar in the capital.

Bangladesh is grappling with increasing uncertainty and political unrest as next year’s election approaches.

Parties that previously collaborated with Yunus to oust the democratically elected Awami League government, led by Sheikh Hasina, are now in conflict over reform proposals.
