The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement will announce the July Revolution on these overall issues."

Since Saturday evening, members and supporters of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the National Citizens Committee have been discussing this event on social media Facebook on December 31.

Akhtar Hossain, member secretary of the National Citizens Committee, wrote on his personal Facebook that it will happen this year. December 31. InShaAllah!’

Sarjis Alam, the chief organizer of the National Citizens Committee, wrote on his Facebook profile, ‘31st December, Shaheed Minar, Time: 3:00 PM, For the sake of BANGLADESH...’.

If the internal situation in Bangladesh is not resolved, not only this region, but everyone will be affected, said Foreign Affairs Adviser Towhid Hossain.

He said this at the roundtable meeting titled 'Responsibility of Reforms and Roadmap for Elections' of the Forum for Bangladesh Studies on Unity, Reforms and Elections at the Khamarbari Krishibid Institute in the capital on Saturday (December 28).

Towhid Hossain said that only when a democratic state is established will the interests and rights of the people be established. Therefore, all political parties must work in agreement for the country's interests.

On the issue of Bangladesh's current relations with the outside world, the Foreign Affairs Adviser said, we have to maintain good relations with India, the United States and China. We have to maintain friendly relations with everyone.

At this time, he said that almost 100 percent of the Myanmar border has been taken over by the Arakan Army. In such a situation, there is no talk of the return of the Rohingyas. Therefore, there is no possibility of sending the Rohingyas back in the next two to six months.

Referring to the meeting with several countries including Myanmar in Bangkok, he said that the Rohingyas were not among the topics discussed in that meeting. The emphasis was on the Rohingya issue from Bangladesh because if this problem is not resolved, everyone will be affected.

He also said that it is very important for a political party to come to power. Many times they deviate from the basic principles. It is the responsibility of the people to ensure that the parties do not deviate from them. Although it is always said that the country is bigger than the party, in reality the opposite picture is seen, he also commented.

BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan has commented that collective effort is needed to preserve the victory of students and the public.

He said this at the roundtable meeting titled ‘Responsibility of Reforms and Roadmap for Elections’ of the Forum for Bangladesh Studies on Unity, Reforms and Elections at the Khamarbari Krishibid Institute in the capital on Saturday (December 28).

Nazrul Islam Khan said, “We always say, we want good, we want better. Our desire to get is endless. Almighty Allah has given us the opportunity to maintain the victory of the mass uprising. But if we do what we want, we will lose everything and regret it. Therefore, collective effort is needed to maintain the victory.”

Stating that administrative officials have created a ‘chaotic’ situation across the country with various demands, he said, “Now is not the time for complaints. Now is the time for cooperation. No political party or social organization can do everything alone. We have to cooperate with each other.”

Even though the people's victories in the language movement of 1952, the great liberation war of 1971, and the anti-Ershad uprising of 1990 have been defeated by political reality, the victory of the anti-fascist uprising of 2004 cannot be allowed to be nullified, he said.

BNP leader Nazrul Islam Khan said, "I have participated in many movements and struggles throughout my life. Even after winning, I have repeatedly lost. I have won many victories, but I could not sustain them. Now the question arises, can we sustain the sacrifices of those who have been martyred in the long-standing democratic movement; who have been subjected to torture, oppression, and disappeared; or who have given their lives and become disabled in the mass uprising of 2004?"

He said, "Among the various reform processes in the country, the administrative, political, and social spheres are now full of demands. Political analysts have commented that this has created an unstable situation in the country."

Many people commented at the meeting that the unity that had been built among the political parties in the country to topple the Awami League government had been eroded. Senior politician Nazrul Islam Khan said, "We have differences on various issues. This is necessary for the health of democracy." The seminar, moderated by Daily Ittefaq's executive editor Saleh Uddin, featured the following as discussants: Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain, adviser to the Ministry of Shipping, Labor and Employment of the interim government; Subrata Chowdhury, co-chairman of Gono Forum; Rashed Al Titumir, professor and economist at Dhaka University; Nurul Kabir, editor of New Age; Advocate Hasnat Qayyum, coordinator of the State Reform Movement; Abul Hasan Rubel, executive coordinator of the Gono Sanghati Andolon; Sarwar Tushar, executive member of the National Citizens' Committee; Habibur Rahman Habib, member of the Research Cell; Mawlana Gazi Ataur Rahman, leader of the Islamic Shasantantra Movement; and lyricist Shahidullah Faraji.
