BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed stated that the party has not been invited to the July Declaration ceremony despite showing full cooperation in the process. He said BNP is ready to sign the charter anytime and had already responded with amendments. The party disagreed with certain proposals, including the mention of March 26. BNP gave notes of dissent on 7 out of 19 reform points in the National Consensus Commission. They will react after the declaration if their amendments are ignored.
