Govt Commits to Implement State Reforms in Line With July Charter: Adilur

Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan today reaffirmed the interim government’s commitment to implementing state reform initiatives and transforming Bangladesh into a “New Bangladesh” in line with the July National Charter and the July Declaration.

“July has changed Bangladesh in just 36 days. We are determined to carry forward the necessary state reforms in line with the July National Charter and the July Declaration,” he said while addressing a seminar titled “Gum Nikristo Fascibadi Shasoner Hatiyar” at the Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall Auditorium this morning.

The event was organised to unveil the cover of “Aynaghorer Sakkhi: Gum Jiboner Aat Bochor,” a book written by Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Quashem Arman recounting his years in detention. Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and Procchod Prokashon jointly arranged the programme.

Speaking on the occasion, Adilur said that the era of fascist rule had ended through the sacrifice of hundreds of martyrs and the struggles of many who continue to recover from their wounds.

“Today, Bangladesh stands at a new crossroads. Those who were once victims of enforced disappearance can now speak freely. We did not know where they were, as the fascist regime had silenced and imprisoned Bangladesh itself,” he said.

He added that the country has now emerged from the darkness of extrajudicial killings and unlawful oppression, with efforts underway to uphold the rule of law and deliver justice to victims and the oppressed.

Adilur said the trial process against perpetrators has already begun and expressed confidence that those who suffered injustice will see the end of wrongdoing.

Highlighting the spirit of the July Declaration, he stressed that the journey toward building a new Bangladesh remains an ongoing struggle. “Even though fascism has been defeated, it often seeks to return. We must remain united to continue this fight, regardless of our differences,” he noted.

He urged all citizens and political forces to maintain unity and work together to sustain the country’s democratic and reformist journey.

DUCSU Vice President Abu Shadik, Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Quashem, Aynaghor survivor Abdullah Aman Azmi, and other DUCSU leaders also spoke at the event.
