NCP to sign July Charter at Jamuna this evening

A delegation of the National Citizens Party (NCP), led by its Convener Nahid Islam, will visit state guest house Jamuna at 6pm on Monday to sign the July Charter.

In a media release, the party said the delegation will also include Sarwar Tushar, Monira Sharmin, Javed Rasin and Advocate Zahirul Islam Musa.

The July National Charter 2025 was signed on October 17 last year at the South Plaza of Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Dhaka, amid boycott by several political parties, including NCP.

The charter was signed by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, members of the National Consensus Commission and leaders of different political parties.

Besides the NCP, the ceremony was boycotted by the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), Bangladesh Samajtantrik Dal (Basad), Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal (Marxist) and the Bangladesh Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Jasad).

Meanwhile, Gonoforum attended the ceremony but did not sign it.

In October last year, NCP Member Secretary Akhter Hossen said the party would sign the July Charter only after receiving assurances that it would be implemented through an official order and a referendum.
