Ali Riaz, the vice-president of the National Consensus Commission, has expressed hope that the July National Charter, formulated through political consensus, will be implemented swiftly. He said, “We understand that reform will not be achieved overnight, nor can a document alone guarantee success. “Since 1971, Bangladesh has struggled to uphold the ideals of equality, human dignity, and social justice for which millions sacrificed their lives. Despite disagreements and different paths, he urged political parties to unite on one goal, to build a democratic Bangladesh and to stand together against all forms of authoritarianism. The July Charter marks the first step in that shared journey, he said.
