Dhaka, Nov 3 (NationPress) The advisory council of Bangladesh's interim government, under the leadership of Muhammad Yunus, has raised alarms regarding the escalating rifts among various political factions concerning the execution of the July Charter, as reported by local news outlets.

During a press briefing following a Council of Advisors meeting in Dhaka, Law Advisor Asif Nazrul urged political parties to engage in constructive dialogue and deliver a cohesive directive to the interim government without procrastination.

"Concerning the timing of the referendum — its date and subject matter — along with the actions to be taken regarding the dissent notes in the July Charter, the meeting conveyed that a definitive decision should be reached promptly in accordance with the Consensus Commission's recommendations," quoted by Bangladeshi media outlet UNB.

Nazrul emphasized that if political parties do not converge on a unified resolution within a week, the government will take matters into its own hands.

“We are aiming for a collective decision on the timing, content of the referendum, and enforcement of the July Charter, ideally within a week. Should the political factions fail to present a unified front, the government will advance independently,” he remarked.

The Law Advisor further noted, “It was recognized during the meeting that despite extensive discussions within the Consensus Commission, there are still conflicting viewpoints on several reform proposals. The gathering also highlighted that political factions are divided over the timing and subject of the referendum.”

Nazrul reiterated the interim government’s commitment to conducting national elections in early February, amidst increasing political unrest.

"In the present climate, there is no scope for delays. This was acknowledged during the meeting. The government's dedication to holding national elections in the first half of February next year was reaffirmed during the advisory council session,” he asserted.

Meanwhile, as the political strife heightens in Bangladesh in anticipation of next year’s elections, the National Citizen Party (NCP) on Sunday accused the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the radical Islamist faction, Jamaat-e-Islami, of impeding reform initiatives and conspiring to postpone the February 2026 polls, according to local reports.

Bangladesh is currently grappling with increasing unpredictability and political chaos as the elections approach.

The parties that previously collaborated with Yunus to dismantle the democratically-elected Awami League government, led by Sheikh Hasina, are now entangled in disputes over reform suggestions.
