Jatiya Party (JP) Secretary General Md Mujibul Haque Chunnu on Friday said, "JP has full support for the interim government. We urged the government to hold elections by carrying out necessary reforms within a reasonable time. 

Speaking in a press conference at the JP Chairman's Banani office he said, "Necessary amendments to Article 70 of the constitution will have to be made, and the powers of the parliamentary standing committees have to be increased."
Chunnu said, "Over the last 15 years, investigations into the corruption of ministers, MPs, bureaucrats, and police must be conducted, and they must be brought under the law. Measures must be taken to recover money laundered abroad through legal means."

He  said, "The first task is to restore law and order in the country. The police force's reasonable demands must be accepted. Families of the leaders who were martyred in the movement must be compensated. Legal action should be taken against the killers and those involved in looting police stations and killing policemen." 

"Increasing remittance flows, prioritizing export trade, boosting foreign investment, and supporting freelancers are crucial to tackling economic challenges. He urged promptly opening educational institutions, addressing inconsistencies in textbooks, and changing the election process to a proportional representation system," he said. 

Chunnu wants necessary reforms in constitutional institutions, Election Commission, Anti-Corruption Commission and Public Service Commission to free them from influence. 

He said, "A law should be enacted for full separation of the judiciary and appointment of judges to the High Court. In the current parliamentary system, the balance of power between the president and parliament should be created by reducing the power of the prime minister." 

"A citizen should not be able to become prime minister more than twice. The person who will be the prime minister again cannot be the leader of the parliament," said Chunnu.
