The rights women expected to secure after last year’s July uprising did not materialise in the July charter, while women’s participation has declined across various sectors, speakers said at a discussion in the capital yesterday.

The BNP, if voted to power, will lay special priority on solving the issues of Farakka Barrage, Teesta river, and border killings, said its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

Though many senior BNP leaders remain unhappy with the July charter implementation order, the party is shifting its focus and speeding up election-related work, as several major tasks remain incomplete.

The National Citizen Party is continuing full-fledged preparations to contest the upcoming national election, focusing on organising its grassroots and selecting candidates for all 300 seats.

Issues like deprivation of water and killings along the border must be addressed with importance, he says

The Left Democratic Alliance (LDA) yesterday condemned the implementation order for July charter “unconstitutional and one-sided”.

Despite deep disagreements over the timing of the referendum and other issues, major political parties agreed on one point yesterday -- the proposed four-part referendum question is too difficult for voters to understand.

Although the BNP is not fully satisfied with the government’s decisions on key issues regarding the July charter’s implementation, it has chosen a softer stance over the matter, ruling out any stern move for now. 

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has said the Awami League would not be able to take part in the upcoming national election as its activities have been suspended under the country’s anti-terrorism laws.
