The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has announced a nationwide campaign supporting a 'Yes' vote in the upcoming February 12 referendum. At a press conference held in front of Dhaka University’s Madhur Canteen, the organization’s president Rifat Rashid detailed the campaign schedule and said agents would be appointed and their list published to ensure organized participation at polling centers.

Rashid stated that Bangladesh stands at a critical juncture following recent political developments, blaming power-hungry groups for repeated crises. He criticized the Consensus Commission’s reform proposals as unclear to the public and said the referendum questions were complex and undemocratic. Despite the interim government and commission’s failures, he viewed the referendum as an opportunity for partial reform.

The campaign will include rallies and meetings with families of martyrs across Rangpur, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barishal, Mymensingh, Sylhet, Chattogram, and Dhaka between February 3 and 10. Rashid emphasized that a 'Yes' victory is essential to establish a moral and political foundation for future reforms and to protect citizens’ voting rights.
