Akhtar Hossain, Member Secretary of the National Coordination Platform (NCP), stated that any consensus reached among political parties must be given constitutional and legal backing; otherwise, it will hold no real value and remain merely a historical document. He rejected the proposal to implement such agreements within a two-year timeframe, warning that NCP will not endorse or sign off on such a deal.
He further emphasized that the July declaration must be announced by July 36 (likely a typo or specific deadline), with no room for delay. “If this is not legally endorsed, all anti-fascist forces will be united to demand its implementation,” he added. Akhtar also clarified a common confusion: “The July Declaration and the July Charter are two distinct documents—while the Charter outlines state structure reforms, the Declaration narrates the sequence of events that led to the July movement.”
