Attorney general Md Asaduzzaman on Friday said that there was no legal barrier to implementing the July Charter in line with the decision of the National Consensus Commission.
He made the remarks while attending a views-exchange meeting with journalists in the Jhenaidah district town.
The July Charter, which is in the process of finalisation, is a declaration based on the consensus between political parties and the interim government over the constitutional, electoral, and administrative reforms in the aftermath of the July uprising that ousted the authoritarian Awami League regime on August 5, 2024, and installed the interim government.
The attorney general said that the government would made decisions regarding officials who were involved in major crimes during the Awami League regime, considering their offences.
Asked whether a neutral election was possible under the current administration, he said that the Election Commission was aware of the matter and he believed that it would form a neutral administration before the national election slated for February 2026.
People change the structure of the state when they feel insecure under any fascist rule and they protest and sacrifice their lives for the country, he observed.
Chaired by Jhenaidah Press Club president Asif Kazal, the meeting was attended, among others, by Bangladesh Nationalist Party Jhenaidah district president MA Majid and journalist leaders.
