Opposition leader and Jamaat-e-Islami chief Shafiqur Rahman announced that his party will take to the streets if the issue of forming a constitutional reform council under the July Charter is not resolved within parliament. He made the statement on Sunday evening after the national parliament session, emphasizing that the opposition had sought a resolution by the end of the day. Rahman noted that questions were raised about the oath of the reform council, the timing of its session, and whether the referendum results would be honored.

During the same parliamentary session, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed responded that the constitution does not recognize the existence of a constitutional reform council, meaning the prime minister cannot advise the president to convene it. He suggested that the matter be discussed in the parliamentary business advisory committee. Rahman said the opposition would submit a formal notice and continue discussions in parliament but would move to street action if no solution emerged.

The opposition expressed hope that the government would accept their demands to implement the July Charter and convene the reform council as per the constitutional process.
