Jamaat-e-Islami has placed a new proposal before the Consensus Commission: anyone refusing to accept the July Charter should be barred from contesting elections, and those campaigning against it should face charges of sedition.

Jamaat leader Golam Parwar said the party has not yet taken any decision regarding an apology or shift in stance over its role during the Liberation War. He added:
“Those who exploited the Liberation War for business have faced losses. But we welcome Shibir leaders offering prayers at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial.”

On the July Charter, Parwar noted:
“It is a historic anti-fascist document. The movement that ended authoritarian rule, where thousands of youths gave their lives, is part of our national history. To deny the July Charter is to align with fascism. Discussions are ongoing — this is not the final draft.”
