Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has emphasized that building national political unity is essential to prevent any future rise of autocracy or fascism in Bangladesh.
Speaking at a seminar organized at the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, on Saturday afternoon, October 31, 2026, the Home Minister stressed that national issues must be solved through dialogue rather than street demonstrations like long marches. "To ensure that no autocratic or fascist regime can ever take root in Bangladesh again, we must strengthen state institutions through constitutional amendments, ensure a balance of power, and guarantee accountability," he declared.

He called on opposition parties to actively participate in the Constitutional Reform Committee and discuss structural changes, such as establishing an upper house in parliament. Urging citizens to unite beyond divisions of religion, language, or self-interest, he concluded that constitutional amendments rooted in consensus will best reflect the expectations of the July uprising and the aspirations of the current generation.
