Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today called upon all pro-July Uprising political parties to remain united for holding a free, fair, and credible national polls in February next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"For nearly one and a half decades, our people were deprived of their right to vote. They are now eagerly waiting to exercise their franchise in the upcoming elections,\" he said in a televised address to the nation this afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \"The pro-uprising political parties must stay united to ensure a fair election in February. Otherwise, the nation will face grave danger.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noting that he earlier expressed his concern in this regard, Professor Yunus said, \"The unity that our people forged in July 2024 - standing tall and defiant in the face of death against fascism - must not be undermined by minor disagreements or petty divisions among us who survived.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calling for giving priority to the national interest, he said, \"What the people of this country want is simple - to honor the memory of countless martyrs and victims by showing tolerance toward differing opinions, to rise above party interests to uphold our shared national aspirations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We must honor the sacrifice of 133 children, hundreds of young men and women, and thousands who lost their limbs in the struggle,\" the Chief Adviser added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expressing hope that all political parties will respect the government's decision regarding the referendum and implementation of the July National Charter, Professor Yunus said the nation will move towards a festive and participatory national election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also said that the government is making all preparations to conduct the elections in a festive, participatory and fair manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Through the elections, we will enter a new Bangladesh. We stand at the threshold of building a new nation,\" he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
