Professor Dr. Ali Riaz, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser, has called on deputy commissioners (DCs), upazila nirbahi officers (UNOs), and election officials to help explain to citizens the importance of voting 'Yes' in the upcoming national referendum. He made the appeal on Saturday, January 17, at a views-exchange meeting held at the BIAM Foundation in Eskaton, Dhaka.
Dr. Riaz stated that the money looted from Bangladesh over the past 16 years could have made the education and health sectors self-reliant. Emphasizing the need for an independent and effective Anti-Corruption Commission, he said that ensuring a 'Yes' victory in the referendum was essential for positive national change. He also criticized the use of the presidency for partisan interests during the Awami League era, including the appointment of election commissioners based on individual decisions.
Riaz added that political parties have agreed to end one-person rule in state governance and urged members of parliament to work for their constituents’ rights rather than party loyalty.
