Political parties, including Jamaat, holding rallies exert undue pressure during ongoing negotiations: Fakhrul
In the ongoing discourse surrounding the advancement of democracy and national development in Bangladesh, several prominent political parties have shared their views on various key issues.
BNP, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, has expressed its opposition to the proportional representation (PR) electoral system and the banning of any political party, including the 14-party alliance and Jatiya Party. The party's Secretary General, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, emphasized the importance of public support for any changes, stating that decisions regarding Bangladesh should be made collectively by the people of Bangladesh, not abroad.
Fakhrul returned to Dhaka from Singapore on September 18 after receiving medical treatment in South Asia, but his role in the upcoming visit to the United States as part of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus's delegation to attend the UN General Assembly remains uncertain.
The BNP seeks solutions through dialogue and hopes that the implementation of the July Charter, about which no information was provided, will also be resolved in the same manner. Fakhrul questioned the effectiveness of taking to the streets to solve the crisis and criticized the protest rallies by Jamaat-e-Islami and other parties, stating they create "unnecessary pressure" during ongoing discussions.
Jamaat-e-Islami has accused an unnamed party of obstructing the legal and constitutional basis of the July Charter. The Jatiya Ganatantrik Party, on the other hand, believes that the upcoming election must be held based on the July Charter and that a parliament formed through elections has the power to amend or change the constitution, according to Islami Andolan.
The Jatiya Ganatantrik Party and the Islami Andolan are both ready to drop their respective demands for proportional representation (PR) electoral system and the July Charter, only if they are rejected in a referendum. The discussions on the July Charter are ongoing, and many issues have already been agreed upon.
It is clear that the political landscape in Bangladesh is marked by diverse opinions and ongoing debates. The focus, however, remains on finding solutions that uphold the democratic principles and the nation's development.
