Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Ameer Allama Mamunul Haque’s new book, “Why Is July Our Struggle?”, was launched on Thursday at 3pm at the Darul Khilafah auditorium, the party’s central office. Haque chaired the unveiling event and said the book explains why his group supported July, continues to support it, and must remain on its side. He said their position in favor of July was uncompromising and allowed no room for flexibility.

The book examines Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis’s political position surrounding the July mass uprising, as well as the referendum, constitutional reform, the role of Islamists, and contemporary political realities. Haque expressed strong anger over what he described as attempts by some people to weaken the contribution and aspirations of the Qawmi ulema community in the July revolution. He also said the strongest reason his party did not form an alliance with BNP in the previous election was BNP’s position against July.

NCP spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan said July’s history was being altered and that the July Museum had been inaugurated in a distorted form, making documentation necessary. Writer and researcher Musa Al Hafiz called the book among the leading written works by people involved in the July mass uprising. He said all sides connected to July should accept it as a textbook on the subject.
