During the parliamentary discussion on the motion of thanks over the President’s address, Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker Nurul Islam sharply criticized the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). He described the cancellation of the July Charter Implementation Order and the referendum verdict as the BNP’s greatest political mistake and a self-destructive decision. According to him, these actions trampled public aspirations and the spirit of mass uprisings, signaling the beginning of a new phase of authoritarianism.

Nurul Islam expressed disappointment that the expected unity for building a new Bangladesh was fading both inside and outside Parliament. He further alleged that a loan defaulter affiliated with the ruling party had been appointed as the governor of Bangladesh Bank, calling it a national disgrace and a warning sign for the country’s fragile economy.

The discussion took place as part of the parliamentary debate on the President’s speech, reflecting ongoing political contention over governance and economic management.
