Bangladesh’s Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed told the National Parliament on March 30, 2026, that the government had reached a consensus on the ordinance providing protection to those involved in the July uprising. He made the remarks while responding to a question from Rangpur-4 MP Akhtar Hossain during the first session of the 13th National Parliament, which was reconvened that afternoon.
Akhtar Hossain had asked whether the Home Ministry would take departmental action regarding alleged police involvement in killings and repression during the July movement, and whether the ministry planned to address confusion within the police over the term “police killings.” In reply, the minister said the issue was political in nature and linked to the government’s constitutional commitment to indemnify the July fighters. He explained that the “July Fighters Protection Ordinance” was among 133 ordinances presented before parliament, originally issued during the interim government.
Salahuddin Ahmed also referred to claims circulating on social media about prosecuting those involved in the killings, questioning whether similar logic would apply to prosecuting freedom fighters for actions during the 1971 war.
