Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stated that respecting the outcome of the referendum requires first joining the parliament. He made the remarks on Tuesday at an iftar event organized by the Bangladesh Nationalist Lawyers Forum at the Supreme Court Bar Association auditorium. The minister emphasized that discussions in parliament would determine decisions on constitutional reform, and any new oath-taking would follow a defined framework.

He reiterated that the government is operating in accordance with the constitution and that the BNP remains committed to implementing the July National Charter. Salahuddin Ahmed said the BNP would also implement its election manifesto and the vice president’s position as outlined. He added that more than 100 ordinances issued by the interim government would be presented in the first parliamentary session.

The minister further noted that consensus-based discussions would guide constitutional amendments and that only agreed-upon points would be implemented.
