Six political parties that participated in the National Consensus Commission’s dialogue — including the National Citizens Party (NCP), Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), Socialist Party of Bangladesh (BASAD), BASAD (Marxist), Bangladesh JASAD, and Gonoforum — have refused to sign the July National Charter 2025. The signing ceremony took place on Friday (October 17) at the South Plaza of the National Parliament Building, where 25 other parties, including the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, signed the document. The NCP announced earlier that it would not join, arguing the process lacked legal foundation and amounted to mere formality. Leftist parties also abstained, alleging that the proposals compromise the principles of the 1971 Liberation War and the 1972 Constitution. CPB President Kazi Sajjad Zahir Chandan and other left leaders reiterated that genuine national consensus requires adherence to constitutional ideals and legal legitimacy.
