Opposition Chief Whip Nahid Islam has said that the current activities of the National Parliament show no reflection of the July Charter or the referendum held alongside the national election. Speaking on Sunday, March 29, during a session of the 13th National Parliament, he remarked that observing the ongoing proceedings gives the impression that no such referendum ever took place.

Nahid Islam argued that before conducting regular and daily parliamentary business, the House should first discuss the referendum and the July Charter implementation order as matters of national importance. He emphasized that these issues deserve the highest priority in parliamentary discussions and should be resolved before proceeding with routine activities.

He added that a notice had already been submitted on behalf of the opposition leader under parliamentary rules. Nahid appealed to the Speaker and the House to prioritize discussion on the referendum and the July Charter implementation order as the first agenda item.
