At a discussion held at the Nagarik Oikya office in Dhaka on Sunday, party President Mahmudur Rahman Manna emphasized that Bangladesh is moving toward a universally acceptable election. He stated that reforms are crucial in this process and cannot be bypassed with shortcuts. The discussion, titled “July Uprising and Bangladesh Politics,” saw the participation of representatives from 20 districts. A 64-page booklet was also released on the occasion. Manna remarked that the July uprising was a response to the regime’s widespread abductions, murders, and oppression. He further noted that law and order remained stable even in the absence of a government, and the interim administration was following a democratic process.
