Nahid: Govt has no moral authority to mark July without proclamation, charter

This news article covers a statement made by Nahid Islam, convenor of the National Citizen Party (NCP) of Bangladesh, demanding that the government officially publish a "July Proclamation" and "July Charter" by August 5, 2025, to commemorate the July mass uprising (referred to as "July 36"). Nahid argues that the government had previously promised to publish these documents following consultations with political parties but failed to meet multiple deadlines. He warns that without issuing these documents, the government has no moral or constitutional authority to organize July anniversary commemorations. The article also outlines that the July Proclamation would formally document the student-led uprising and its goals, while the July Charter would establish a framework for fundamental state reforms and constitutional amendments, potentially enacted through a referendum or constituent assembly.
