Bangladesh National Party (BJP) chairman and Member of Parliament Andaleeve Rahman Partha alleged that citizens were compelled to vote 'yes' in the recent referendum. He made the claim on Tuesday, March 31, during the general discussion on a motion under Rule 62 in the first session of the 13th National Parliament. Partha accused the opposition of coercing the public and criticized the process surrounding the July Charter and constitutional reform efforts.
Partha argued that while there may be no issue with the July Charter itself, the implementation process was problematic. He questioned why an interim revolutionary government had not been formed earlier if the intent was to replace the constitution. Referring to the 1972 constitution, he said that reducing presidential powers had inadvertently strengthened the prime minister and cabinet, emphasizing the need for balanced reform. He also claimed that although 70 percent of votes were 'yes' in the referendum, only 51 percent came from the BNP alliance.
Partha expressed respect for the July uprising and urged the National Citizens Party (NCP) to pursue positive politics and avoid divisive tendencies.
