Khelafat Majlis Amir Mawlana Mamunul Haque declared that no election will be allowed in Bangladesh without official recognition of the Shapla Square martyrs and implementation of the July Charter.

Rejecting the 1972 Constitution, he said, “Elections are not the immediate priority. First, Bangladesh must acknowledge the blood of Shapla’s martyrs. The July revolutionaries shed their blood to uproot imperialism. There can be no compromise between the July movement and the 1972 regime.”

Mamunul warned against attempts to return to the “Baksali system” of 1972 and criticized those who invoke Ziaur Rahman’s name while supporting such measures. He further vowed to resist the establishment of “statues disguised as sculptures” of dictators in Bangladesh and opposed the idea of building a statue of Zia.
