Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. A.K. Fazlul Haque Bhuiyan said that a 'Yes' vote in the upcoming referendum would establish true accountability in the state and pave the way for comprehensive reforms. He made the remarks on Saturday at a discussion meeting held at the Syed Nazrul Islam Conference Hall of the university. The event was organized to raise awareness and strengthen campaigns on the referendum across public and private universities.

Professor Bhuiyan explained that the July Charter includes crucial provisions for restructuring the state framework, and therefore, supporting it through a 'Yes' vote is essential. He warned that a 'No' vote would block the possibility of implementing these reforms. He called on citizens to make a thoughtful decision in the referendum and expressed hope that on February 12, people would stand for a prosperous and truly independent Bangladesh.

The meeting was attended by senior officials, including Monir Haidar, special assistant to the Chief Adviser of the interim government, and vice-chancellors from several universities, along with teachers, staff, and student representatives from eight universities.
