Dhaka, July 23 (V7N) – Amid growing concerns over the possible resurgence of fascist elements during the sensitive months of July and August, Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus has begun a series of political dialogues with major parties to ensure national stability. Following a high-level meeting at the state guest house Jamuna on Tuesday night, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir reaffirmed his party’s commitment to cooperate with the government during this critical period.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday (July 23) after a separate meeting with the Nationalist Minority Ethnic Party at the BNP Chairperson’s office in Gulshan, Mirza Fakhrul emphasized the need for unity and maturity in governance.
“There is a fear of fascist forces rising again in the coming weeks. In this context, BNP is committed to supporting the government to maintain law and order,” he said.
He also urged the government to announce the acceleration of the promised election process, stating that political tensions could be reduced if a clear roadmap for elections is presented within the agreed timeframe.
Criticizing the government’s performance, the BNP Secretary General said:
“The government's biggest problem is its inexperience. There is a sense of ego in their actions. But rather than highlighting their shortcomings, we should focus on their goodwill.”
Mirza Fakhrul warned of potential conspiracies aimed at destabilizing the political landscape.
“Any attack on the NCP or an attempt to enter the Secretariat to create chaos could be part of a plot to sabotage the upcoming election,” he remarked.
The meeting between the Chief Advisor and representatives of four political parties — including BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, National Citizen Party (NCP), and the Islamic Movement — is being seen as a significant move to build an anti-fascist consensus and ensure peaceful democratic transition.
Political analysts have noted the significance of BNP’s overtures and Yunus’s inclusive approach, especially in light of recent national tragedies and growing public frustration over instability and misinformation.
