Political leaders, academics, and public figures have accused the government of duplicity in implementing the July Charter, describing it as a betrayal of the nation. Speaking at a seminar organized by the Center for Inclusive Policy and Governance (CIPG) at the National Press Club on Saturday, they said the government has failed to form the Constitutional Reform Council or take oath despite winning a majority in the national election held under the same schedule. They argued that the people’s will, expressed through the July uprising and referendum, is being ignored.

The speakers demanded the enactment and full implementation of the 'July National Charter (Constitutional Reform) Implementation Order 2025' to uphold the spirit of the July movement. Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Dr. A.H.M. Hamidur Rahman Azad alleged that the government is passing laws unilaterally and not following its declared 31-point agenda. Retired Major Akhtaruzzaman emphasized the need for an independent judiciary and an effective anti-corruption system through a reform council.

Barrister Muhammad Belayet Hossain stated that the interim government had formed 11 reform commissions whose proposals were approved by referendum, making their implementation a legal and moral obligation for the government.
