Religious Adviser Dr. A F M Khalid Hossain stated that the 'Yes' vote in the upcoming referendum has no connection with the inclusion or exclusion of 'Bismillah' in the constitution. He clarified that 'Bismillah' is written at the top of the constitution and will remain there, dismissing claims that a 'Yes' vote would remove Islam or Allah from the state. He made these remarks on Monday afternoon while addressing a public awareness meeting and imam conference on referendum activities at the Moulvibazar Shilpakala Auditorium, organized by the district administration.
Dr. Hossain said that misleading statements about whether 'Bismillah' or the state religion would remain are spreading confusion in society. He explained that the provisions in the July Charter would be added, while the rest of the constitution would remain intact. He emphasized that the 'Yes' vote aims to bring qualitative changes, including the formation of a caretaker government toward the end of the next government’s term, and ensuring a neutral Election Commission with input from opposition parties.
The meeting was chaired by Deputy Commissioner Touhiduzzaman Pavel and attended by local officials, imams, teachers, and journalists from Moulvibazar’s seven upazilas.
