Khulna, Nov 09 (V7N)- A. F. M. Khalid Hossain, Religious Adviser to the interim government, addressed attendees at a Mahfil held at Shiromani Hafizia Madrasa in Khulna, emphasizing the need for an elected government and a return to stability in Bangladesh. Speaking as the chief guest, he stated that the interim government aims to transfer power promptly after facilitating a fair and credible election.

Khalid Hossain stressed that improving the country's law and order situation is essential for conducting peaceful elections. "The interim government will step down, transferring responsibility to the elected winners," he said. However, he warned that if the interim government fails to maintain stability, the consequences could be unpredictable.
