The impatience that is going on over next elections is disrupting the government's reform activities, said LGRD and Cooperatives Adviser Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan on Tuesday (December 24).
"This is creating obstacles to reforms programmes taken by the present interim government," he said while talking to local journalists after distributing winter clothes among the needy at Kaharol upazila in Dinajpur district and exchanging views with upazila-level officials.
He said, "We will appeal to political parties to cooperate with each reform commission by giving their opinions as the reform process will be completed based on their opinions. This will realize the hopes and aspirations of the people's mass uprising."
The adviser said, "I am not a member of the anti-discrimination student movement now, I am serving as an advisor to the current interim government. It is not possible for me to say what political decisions or what the anti-discrimination student movement is doing."
He said the interim government has given a timeline, elections will be held between the end of 2025 and mid-2026. However, it completely depends on the reform process.
"The reform commissions have already been in place. Discussions will be held with the political parties on the reports of the reform commissions. And after implementing the reform work, we will go to the elections," the adviser said.
Dinajpur Deputy Commissioner Md Rafiqul Islam and Superintendent of Police Md Nazmul Hasan, Deputy Secretary to the Adviser Md Abul Hossain, Kaharol Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Aminul Islam and anti-discrimination student leaders were present, among others.
