Mahmudur Rahman Manna emphasized that the goal of the pro-uprising coalition was always the fall of fascism, not just the removal of a leader. "We do not want yet another sham election like the last three. Necessary reforms must begin immediately." Manna criticized the Chief Advisor for failing to complete even a single reform so far, and expressed concern over retaining the police force without any restructuring. "If the government suddenly insists, ‘No election without this,’ we will face a crisis," he warned. He also noted that constitutional reform requires parliamentary approval, and yet, many of the winning parties oppose the necessary changes, rejecting 10 of the 19 core reform points. "Has anyone asked the BNP whether they will uphold the reforms they disagreed with if they come to power?" Manna asked. He stressed the need for a clear reform agenda and accountability from this point forward.
