Maulana Mamunul Haque, the Ameer of Khelafat Majlis, has criticized the recently announced July Declaration and the decision to set the date for the next national election based solely on discussions with one political party. “This clearly shows a disregard for the sacrifices, opinions, and organizational contributions of Islamist groups,” he said. Haque expressed frustration that the roles of Islamic scholars, madrasa teachers and students, expatriates, and online activists in the July uprising were completely ignored. He also condemned the lack of reference to major historical incidents such as the 1947 independence, the 2013 Shapla Chattar massacre, and the Pilkhana tragedy—events he deemed pivotal in Bangladesh’s political evolution. While he refrained from welcoming the election date announcement, Haque emphasized the importance of a level playing field and demanded legal validation of the July Charter.
