The \"July National Charter\" is not merely a document, it is a roadmap for Bangladesh's future, as it has been written in\u00a0exchange for the blood of young people, said Professor Dr. Ali Riaz, Special\u00a0Assistant to the Chief Adviser.
\u00a0
He stated that through the implementation of this charter, the foundation of\u00a0an accountable and democratic system of governance will be further\u00a0strengthened.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made these remarks as the chief guest at an exchange meeting titled\u00a0\"Public Awareness Campaign on the Referendum-2026\" held at the Senate\u00a0Building of Rajshahi University (RU).
\u00a0
Prof Ali Riaz said Bangladesh's youth continue their struggle with the goal\u00a0of ensuring that future generations can live in an accountable democratic\u00a0state system. The referendum, he noted, is an important part of that ongoing\u00a0struggle.
\u00a0
There is nothing in the referendum that ordinary people would fail to\u00a0understand; rather, the people of the country are ready to say \"Yes\" in the\u00a0referendum, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If around 150,000 university-level students in the Rajshahi division campaign\u00a0in favour of the referendum over the next seven days and take responsibility\u00a0for mobilising \"yes\" votes, it would be highly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure equal opportunities in government employment, the Public Service\u00a0Commission (PSC) must be made independent within the constitutional framework\u00a0through the referendum, he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, he alleged that over the past 16 years, the Anti-Corruption\u00a0Commission had been turned into a tool for suppressing opposition parties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasized that implementing the July National Charter is essential to\u00a0establish an independent and effective Anti-Corruption Commission.
\u00a0
Teachers and students of the university, representatives from various\u00a0professions, and workers involved with the referendum were present at the\u00a0exchange meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The objectives, importance, and future impact of the referendum were\u00a0discussed in detail, and articipants were urged to play an active role in\u00a0raising public awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof Ali Riaz called on all concerned to carry out the campaign out of a\u00a0sense of duty and responsibility to those who lost their lives in July,\u00a0adding, \"People should act on their own initiative instead of waiting for\u00a0
government directives.\"
