Adviser of the Ministries of Housing and Public Works , Industries and Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Adilur Rahman Khan today urged people to vote ‘Yes’ in the referendum scheduled for February 12 to uphold the spirit of a new Bangladesh.

Speaking as the chief guest at a public awareness meeting on the referendum, organised by the Cox’s Bazar district administration at the Public Library Hall, the adviser said the July Charter and the new Bangladesh were achieved through the sacrifices of the July martyrs and fighters.

He said Bangladesh must be free from fascism, discrimination, enforced disappearances and crossfire killings.

Besides, equal rights for all ethnic communities will be ensured, he added.

The meeting, chaired by Cox’s Bazar Deputy Commissioner Md. A. Mannan, was attended by senior officials, civil society members and people from different walks of life.

After the meeting, the adviser inaugurated the ‘Voter Gari’ for the referendum at the Deputy Commissioner’s office premises.
