Law and Youth Adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul has called on citizens to vote 'Yes' in the upcoming national referendum to eliminate injustice, oppression, corruption, and inequality in Bangladesh. Speaking on Monday afternoon at a discussion meeting held at the Bogura District Council auditorium, organized by the district administration, he said that a 'Yes' vote is necessary to prevent any individual or group from gaining absolute power or becoming fascist.

Nazrul stated that after consultations with all political parties, a July Charter had been finalized, and the referendum would now gauge public opinion. He criticized previous governments for depriving citizens of their voting rights over the past 15 years, alleging that the Awami League government had manipulated elections through night voting and dummy candidates. He emphasized that this time, a fair environment for voting has been created and that the referendum carries significant importance.

The event was attended by Bogura Deputy Commissioner Md. Toufiqul Rahman, Superintendent of Police Md. Shahadat Hossain, and officials from various government departments in the district.
