Seven key objections prompt four left-wing parties to reject July CharterFour left-leaning political parties have reiterated their decision not to sign the July National Charter, citing seven specific reasons. The parties -- Bangladesh Communist Party (CPB), Bangladesh Socialist Party–BaSaD, BaSaD (Marxist), and Bangladesh Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JaSaD) -- outlined their objections at a joint media briefing on Thursday in Paltan. Representatives emphasised that the Charter implicitly negates the basis of Bangladesh’s independence and the Liberation War, and includes pledges that cannot be questioned in court. On Wednesday evening, Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, head of the National Consensus Commission, held an urgent meeting with political parties to discuss the Charter. Despite these consultations, differences remain among the parties regarding the implementation timeline of the July Charter and the proposed public referendum.
