BNP leader Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain asserted that the interim government’s sole mandate is to conduct a free, fair, and impartial general election. “We called for the removal of controversial advisers whose actions tarnish the government’s image,” he said. Criticizing the press secretary’s claim that the government has a full mandate to act, he said, “Fascist Awami rule has collapsed, and the student-public uprising has triumphed. However, how much public expectation has actually been fulfilled over the past nine months remains a serious question.” He emphasized that preserving this unity is essential to building a strong democratic future for Bangladesh.
