July charter will not include 'note of dissent': Nahid
He said the process of issuing the July Charter order should be in the hands of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus
National Citizen Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam said the July charter will not include any 'note of dissent'.
Speaking at the inauguration of the University Teachers Forum (UTF) at Bangla Academy today (7 November), he said whatever is agreed upon will be ultimately finalised by the people.
He added that if the people demand it, those decisions will be implemented. He expressed hope that the country can soon move towards elections under the July Charter order and added that they [NCP] will move forward keeping the aspirations of the mass uprising in mind.
Nahid Islam said the next parliament and the reform council will include young people, teachers, women, minorities, and professionals, which will help achieve the goals of the July charter.
He also said that current demands should be met through a referendum first, and the process of issuing the July Charter order should be in the hands of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.
Nahid Islam added that the stakeholders of the July Uprising should have the opportunity to be in the next parliament.
The new parliament and reform council will work on a new constitution, teachers' participation is essential, and the National Citizen Party will try to ensure this, he further added.
