The political parties urged the government to adopt a stricter approach to ensure law and order. They also affirmed their continued and unwavering unity in opposing fascism.
On Tuesday night, during a meeting with Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus at the state guesthouse Jamuna, four political parties conveyed this message.
Following the meeting, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul briefed reporters. Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam was also present at the time.
"The political parties particularly emphasised two issues. Firstly, they expect us [government] to take a stronger stance in maintaining law and order. They also mentioned that we have some deficiencies in this regard," the adviser told reporters.
He added, "BNP representatives said the government should move forward with the election process in a fair manner."
Asif further said the political leaders vowed to remain united in their efforts against fascism. "Some of them mentioned that political opponents may criticise one another, but that doesn't mean there's a rift within the alliance."
"They said the unity among the political parties is evident in the way they respond promptly whenever the chief adviser calls a meeting. They also stated that their regular participation in the Consensus Commission meetings is a result of this unity," he said.
The chief adviser encouraged the political parties to make their unity more visible to the public. "Whether it's in the context of anti-fascist movements or any constructive agenda, if you stay together, it gives the people hope," the chief adviser said as quoted by Asif Nazrul.
In response to the situation that arose after a battle aircraft of the Air Force crashed at Milestone School and College in Uttara, Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus held an emergency meeting with four political parties. Representatives from the BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, NCP, and Islami Andolon participated in the meeting, reports TBS.
