Dhaka, Nov 08 (V7N) — Shafiqul Alam, Press Secretary to the Chief Advisor, has emphasized that while disagreements among political parties are expected, a consensus must be reached. He warned that if parties fail to agree on the referendum, the government will make a decision promptly to prevent any uncertainty about the upcoming elections.

He made the remarks at a dialogue organized by Trace Consulting at a hotel in the capital on Saturday (November 8).
