Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday said they are working to build a broad national consensus around a renewed political system—one that delivers ‘inclusive, participatory and credible’ elections.
“The goal is clear: to establish a society where all Bangladeshis can live in peace, with pride, with freedom, and with dignity,” he said while speaking at the ‘commemoration and dialogue event’, marking the anniversary of the July 2024 events.
Prof Yunus said their work is far from finished. “Alongside our reform agenda, we are pursuing legal accountability for those responsible for gross violations.”
But, Prof Yunus said, justice is not only about punishment. “Justice is also about ensuring that state power can never again be used to suppress, silence, or destroy its own people,” he said.
Political representatives, representatives of victims’ families, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Jamaat Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman also spoke at the event.
Prof Yunus said as they reflect on this past year, they remember those who gave their lives in pursuit of that vision. “Their sacrifices paved the way for a new chapter in our history. They have created a new Bangladesh, one that is rooted in hope, human rights and democratic renewal,” he said.
