Since they have not yet been able to discuss the July Revolution Declaration as a party and with their partners, BNP is not giving any opinion on it right now.
The party believes that more time is needed for this. In such a context, BNP's standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed will meet with the interim government's chief adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus.
BNP standing committee member Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku said that on our behalf, standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed will meet with the chief adviser today. When contacted with the leaders of BNP's partner parties, they also expressed insufficiency of time to give their opinion on the declaration.
Earlier, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that he received a draft of the declaration from Mahfuz Alam, an adviser to the interim government, and he requested us to give our opinion on it. But it is not possible for them to give their opinion on it in one day's notice.
Mirza Fakhrul said that the matter is so sensitive and important that it is not possible to do it in one day's notice. We have discussed this issue, we are discussing it further. We have other parties too; we have to discuss with them. Not only that, we have to talk to those who are constitutional experts because, this declaration also contains a lot about the constitution, which we have to see.
Yesterday, Wednesday night, the press wing of the chief adviser informed that the interim government led by chief adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus will organize an all-party meeting on the July declaration at the Foreign Service Academy between 4 pm and 7 pm on Thursday.
Apart from this, Adviser Mahfuz Alam informed about the all-party meeting at a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy on Tuesday evening. Mahfuz Alam said, a document will be prepared based on consensus through this meeting. It will be clear on that day when we will issue the declaration and how the government will play a role in issuing the declaration.
