Uprising is legitimate to BNP only as much as needed to keep the throne: Asaduzzaman Fuad

At this meeting, held on the occasion of the first anniversary of the signing of the ‘July National Charter’, Asaduzzaman Fuad said that the government formed after August 5 did not come through a constitutional process, but rather brought the mandate of a mass uprising. Yet BNP’s intellectuals are now deliberately taking the whole matter to the question of constitutional legitimacy. Through this, the legitimacy of the revolution itself is essentially being brought into question.

He alleged that the political deception and hypocrisy BNP is committing under the pretext of constitutional legitimacy also cast doubt on the legitimacy of the February 12 election and the current government. But due to their own interests, BNP is unwilling to accept it.
