Speakers at an eleven-party alliance seminar in Chattogram on Sunday evening warned that a mass movement would be launched if the BNP government failed to honor the referendum verdict. They said the excuses used by the government to disregard the people's decision had already been rejected by the public. The event, titled “The Referendum Verdict as the Expression of the People’s Sovereign Will,” was held at the Engineers Institution in the city.

Speakers alleged that although the BNP had engaged in reform discussions with 33 parties before the election, it changed its stance after coming to power. They cautioned that the country’s situation would deteriorate if the government did not return to the right path. The seminar was attended by leaders including Liberal Democratic Party chairman Dr. Col. Oli Ahmad and Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general Prof. Mia Golam Porwar, among others.

Senior Supreme Court lawyer Shishir Monir presented the keynote paper, emphasizing that the constitution places the people above all state institutions. He warned that ignoring the referendum, which reportedly saw 70 percent voter turnout, could lead to a national explosion.
