Saiful Alam Khan Milon, a member of Jamaat-e-Islami’s central executive council and MP from Dhaka-12 constituency, has accused the BNP-led government of trying to repeal the ordinance linked to the national referendum held alongside the general election on February 12.
Milon made the remarks at a press briefing on Friday after a meeting with a delegation from the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) at the party’s central office.
“The government is moving to cancel the referendum ordinance instead of taking the expected steps to implement the ‘July Charter’,” Milon said.
He described the failure to implement the charter as the biggest challenge facing the current parliament.
During the meeting with IFES, both sides stressed the need to make the electoral system more effective and robust. They also agreed on the importance of collectively strengthening constitutional and democratic institutions to ensure long-term sustainability.
Milon further underlined the need for parliament to function as the main platform for resolving national crises.
“The parliament formed after the July movement must meet public expectations, where both the government and the opposition play equally significant roles,” he said.
