Jamaat Secretary General Hamidur Rahman Azad believes that the next election will be fair, impartial and acceptable only if it is held on the basis of the July Charter. Highlighting two ways for the party to implement the charter, he said, one is a Provisional Constitutional Order. There is a precedent for this in the past. Another is a referendum. It also has a history in the country. If the parties cannot agree, the people will vote through a referendum.
Azad said this at a meeting of the National Consensus Commission held on Sunday (September 14) at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital in the presence of Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus on the implementation process of the July Charter.
Hamidur Rahman Azad said that the government’s promise was to reform first. It will eliminate the kind of errors and deviations that have created a ruinous mess in the state system in the past and take Bangladesh on a new path, this was the first commitment of the government. The second government’s promise was to prosecute the genocide, and the third was to hold the best election in history in a festive atmosphere.
The Jamaat leader said that they want to believe that a level playing field will be created in the next election as announced by the chief advisor. The election will be neutral, fair and acceptable.
Azad said, “But the two elections of the Central Student Union have made us a little worried. Regarding the environment of the election and the announcement of the election results. We want to see this as a negative signal as far as we have noticed in terms of influencing the election. We are expressing our concern from the point of view of whether there will be another national election after this. So that the next election is held through a fair, acceptable and impartial administrative system. Only then will our aspirations be realized. Therefore, we want to say that the reforms through which the national charter is going to be made today should end beautifully.”
Azad requested an extension of the term of the consensus commission and requested that it be concluded by the hands of Vice President Ali Riaz.
