State Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Nurul Haque Nur has alleged that certain vested groups are trying to monopolize the July Movement, comparing it to attempts to control the Liberation War narrative. Speaking in the national parliament on Wednesday during the discussion on the motion of thanks to the President’s address, Nur urged an end to misinformation regarding the July Movement.

As president of the Gana Adhikar Parishad, Nur emphasized the collective struggle and sacrifices behind the movement, criticizing those who claim undue credit. Addressing opposition remarks about the July Charter, he explained that the document allowed political parties to take unresolved issues to the public for a mandate. He stated that it was natural for the BNP to implement parts of the charter where it had earlier expressed dissent, but warned against spreading falsehoods.

Nur called on opposition parties to engage in constructive criticism and positive cooperation over the next five years, expressing confidence in advancing under Tarique Rahman’s leadership.
