Professor Ali Riaz, special assistant to the chief adviser, called on citizens to support the 'July Charter' in the upcoming national referendum. Speaking at a discussion meeting at Dhaka University’s Nawab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Building on Tuesday, he described the charter as a pledge written in blood, symbolizing the sacrifices of those who fought against fascist rule. The event was organized by the University Grants Commission to promote the referendum and encourage voter participation.
Riaz emphasized that the July Charter represents a collective debt to the youth, workers, and citizens who protested for freedom and justice. He warned against the return of personal dictatorship and urged constitutional reforms to prevent unilateral amendments. He also criticized past constitutional changes and elections that, according to him, undermined democracy.
Special assistant Monir Haidar added that the referendum will include 48 reform proposals under four categories, ultimately asking whether citizens support the July uprising. He cautioned that failure of the referendum could allow fascism to return, stressing that it is an opportunity to realize the founding goals of equality, dignity, and social justice.
