Amid heightened political attention surrounding the upcoming referendum and the broader electoral landscape, the Press Secretary to the Chief Advisor asserted that the country continues to enjoy a fair and balanced pre-election environment. During a visit to several historic religious and cultural sites in Mymensingh, he stated that the competition remains equally accessible for both major and minor political parties, and no visible incidents have emerged that could undermine legitimacy or raise concerns about a lack of level playing field. Encouraging citizens to participate actively and cast a “yes” vote in the referendum, he framed the moment as an opportunity to safeguard democratic rights, protect the nation from authoritarian tendencies, and avoid a recurrence of past misgovernance. Referencing Bangladesh’s heritage as a land of saints, spiritual leadership, and interfaith harmony, he emphasized that mutual coexistence and civic tolerance remain central to the country’s social fabric. Discussions surrounding security measures, public awareness, and expectations from both government and citizens illustrate how this political moment is shaping discourse about the nation’s democratic trajectory and long-term institutional trust.
