The Khilafat Majlis central Majlis-e-Shura Session 2026 has strongly criticised various policies and decisions of the government, saying the repeal of several reform ordinances reflects an "anti-people stance" and risks pushing the country towards instability.
The session was held at the Diploma Engineers Institute in Dhaka on Saturday morning, presided over by party Ameer Maulana Abdul Basit Azad and conducted by Secretary General Dr Ahmed Abdul Quader. Central and Shura members were present.
The leaders said the repeal of key ordinances, including the Referendum Ordinance-2025, Anti-Corruption Commission reform, Human Rights Commission reform and Judiciary reform, goes against public expectations. They also said uncertainty over the implementation of the July National Charter is contributing to a growing political crisis.
Concerns were also raised over instability in the energy sector. The leaders said rising gas and fuel prices, driven by volatility in the international market, are causing public suffering. They urged the government to curb syndicates and expand alternative energy sources.
The meeting also highlighted problems in the health sector, including vaccine shortages, rising risk of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases, and weaknesses in hospital services.
Participants criticised the postponement of local government elections and the appointment of administrators, describing the move as contrary to democratic principles.
Law and order issues were also raised, along with concerns over sidewalk demolitions, allegations of drug and extortion activities, and irregularities in recent by-elections.
On international issues, the leaders expressed concern over developments in Iran, Palestine and Kashmir, calling for an end to conflicts in the Muslim world, recognition of a Palestinian state, and urgent steps for the repatriation of Rohingya refugees.
At the end of the session, five resolutions were adopted, calling for policy changes, strengthening democratic processes, and urgent reforms in the energy and health sectors.
