Professor Muhammad Yunus, the country’s chief adviser, called today one of the greatest joys and a moment of emancipation for the country, characterizing the ongoing general elections and the referendum as a historic opportunity to create a “new Bangladesh.”
“Through the process that began today we have completely boycotted the past. We got an opportunity at every step to build a new Bangladesh. Let’s celebrate the birthday of Bangladesh today. Let the whole nation celebrate the festival throughout the day,” he said.
Following his vote this morning at the Gulshan Model School and College polling station, the Chief Adviser made the statements.
“Casting votes for candidates is very important,” he added, adding that the referendum would further ensure the transformation. But the referendum is just as significant.
In order to create a new Bangladesh, he urged everyone to take part in the referendum. Today is one of the happiest days of my life. For the people of Bangladesh, it is also a day of immense happiness and emancipation,” he continued.
Referring to the entire process underway, he said this is what defines today’s journey—an end to past nightmares and the beginning of a renewed national framework.
Prof Yunus observed that the people of the country took the day just like a national festival and were celebrating the day like an Eid Day.
