Chief Adviser Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus called upon the political parties to make their anti-fascist unity more visible.

“If you stay together on any anti-fascist issue or in any constructive programme and if people see that, then a sense of relief will come among the people. Many people will be happy to see this and the people of the country want that,” he said.

Chief Adviser Prof Dr. Muhammad Yunus made the remarks at an emergency meeting with the leaders of four political parties on Tuesday night (July 22) at his official residence, Jamuna.

BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, NCP and Islami Andolon joined the meeting to discuss the recent situation in the country.

After the meeting, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Prof Dr Asif Nazrul briefed journalists about the outcome of the meeting.

Asif Nazrul said the Chief Adviser called the four major political parties to discuss the recent situation in the country and the discussion took place in a very cordial atmosphere.

He said the political parties have clearly told the government that there is no difference of opinion, no dispute among them in the anti-fascist unity.

“There is no dispute or difference of opinion among them on the issue of confronting fascism,” he said, citing remarks of the political parties.

Asif Nazrul said, “Some of them have said that as part of the political process in the political field, we can sometimes speak against each other. This does not mean that they are our political opponents. They are our political allies. Such talks will be said sometimes in the political field. It should not be assumed from this that there is any rift in our anti-fascist unity.”

He said the political parties have urged the government to take a stronger stance in maintaining law and order in the country.

Besides, the BNP has urged the government to move forward in a fair manner regarding the election process, he said.
