Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmad, Secretary General of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, criticized the Election Commission’s electoral roadmap, saying it ignores promised reforms, the July Charter, and justice for Sheikh Hasina and her associates. He called it a betrayal of the people’s sacrifices, stressing that elections must be genuinely participatory and based on reforms. He urged the government to first establish legal foundations for the July Charter and a roadmap for justice before proceeding with elections, warning that otherwise the process will become a farce.
